Animation in the Division of Film Studies
Animation in the Division of Film Studies at the University of Utah emphasizes the integration of critical, historical, theoretical, and practical components of animation studies and production. Our goal is to enable students to develop expertise in understanding and use of animation and moving images for artistic, social, and pre-professional purposes. Students will not only advance technical knowledge of animation media, but also develop critical views and awareness of animation through historical studies, theoretical analysis, and cross-cultural examination. As a research hub of higher education, the Division of Film Studies at the University of Utah also promotes interdisciplinary learning and practice in animation. Students are encouraged to take cross-college and campus courses, including courses in College of Fine Arts and Humanities, and courses in School of Computing, in order to develop an understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of animation media.
