Drexel University’s Animation & Visual Effects program is based in the Westphal College of Media, Arts & Design, a collaborative art and design center located within a broadly diverse, advanced research university in historic Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Thriving at the intersection of art and technology, the program aims to develop students’ understanding of centuries old principles of storytelling, motion, design and aesthetics while honing their ability to realize the full potential of these tenets by learning, leveraging, (and sometimes inventing) the latest technologies available in the industry today.
