动画 & 插图 Program at San José State University was originally created to give local students a chance to compete for careers in the screen arts; it now attracts students nationally and internationally. Located in the center of Silicon Valley, the program has developed tight bonds with 行业 partners over the last 25年. Guest speakers from 行业 leaders such as Bento Box, Blizzard, Blue Sky Studios, Cartoon Network, Disney, DreamWorks, Hallmark, Industrial Light & 魔法, Nickelodeon, Pixar, SONY Pictures 动画, Warner Bros. 动画, and many more, provide students with insights into the latest trends and shifting demands of the 行业. Our dedicated faculty foster a strong sense of community within the program, creating a place where students support and learn from each other as well as in the 教室. As a result, recruiters have continually sought out our graduates for job opportunities and full-time positions. Incoming students can get a feel for this welcoming atmosphere during 一个 of the campus tours that the program provides. 

的 program’s accomplished faculty prepares students for life after graduation by holding them to professional standards. From working on projects they might encounter in the professional world to pursuing their personal artistic interests, students are emboldened by the idea that there is great power in what they can create through the skills they have gained from the program. Our graduates complete the program with a sense of pride in their work and a sense of place within a global framework. 在一起, our community of faculty, students, and alumni work as a team to build a welcoming and inclusive learning environment.
