We invite you join the students and faculty of the Emerging Media MFA - Animation and Visual Effects program for our upcoming open house to learn more about the Animation and Visual Effects program of study. 

The Animation and Visual Effects track is a three-year, full-time series of courses designed to emulate the professional and independent studio environment. Students desiring admission should be primarily interested in the opportunity to create their own animation and/or visual effects thesis film. In this program students are encouraged to develop their visual storytelling skills while using a variety of animation and visual effects techniques, including traditional hand-drawn, stop motion, 2D computer, and 3D computer animation.

Hosted by the UCF College of Graduate Studies, registration can be accessed on the Discover UCF webpage by scrolling down the right-hand column listing Program Specific Events. https://applynow.graduate.ucf.edu/portal/cgsadmissions
