Key Facts and Outcomes

Learning from faculty that bring knowledge and experience from major brands including Disney, Dreamworks, Universal, and Netflix, MFA students master the tools and techniques to create compelling 3D Animation and VFX shots while nurturing a deep sense of service toward storytelling, culminating in their final thesis.
