Animation

Animation is more than Saturday morning cartoons.

Animation is everywhere:

• cartoons, movies, and television
• on billboards and Jumbotrons
• in classrooms and museums, in health care settings
• simulators and courtrooms.

Drury's interdisciplinary department is ranked second among animation programs in Missouri and 15th in the Midwest. Students develop their creative capacities by working with a variety of majors including architecture, writing and multimedia production. In their coursework, they learn to craft visual stories with the latest animation software and tools.
