Animation at the University of Arkansas

Animation related classes are beginning to become prevalent on campus. With the growing interest, faculty and staff members from the Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies, Mathematics, Art, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Drama and Classics have come together to begin development of an animation certification curriculum that utilizes classes and resources available on campus. This curriculum recognizes not only the theory behind computer generated animation, but also it's use in a wide variety of disciplines.

The curriculum is currently under review and subject to class changes. We encourage all that are interested to download the curriculum and make suggestions to Snow L. Winters, snowball@cast.uark.edu.

If you are interested in taking classes from the curriculum, remember this is still in progress and these classes are, at this time, only suggestions.
