Students studying animation at Carthage have many opportunities to enrich their education.
Student Organizations
Carthage animation students can get involved in a number of student organizations that are dedicated to putting what they’ve learned in the classroom into practice. Join Kappa Pi, Art Club, and more!
J-Term is a month-long period of study in January in which all academic departments at Carthage offer innovative courses on campus, as well as study tours in other countries. J-Term study tours are also offered closer to home.
Internships to enhance skills and knowledge in animation can be developed with Carthage’s Aspire Program™. Students can apply for the Tarble Internship Grant, which is designed to offset the costs of unpaid internships for students in financial need, so they can take full advantage of the learning and experience gained through valuable internship opportunities.
Adobe Creative Cloud Programs, Blender, and other animation software are also available in the Hedberg Library’s Saemann Computer Lab. The lab offers Mac desktop computers and several PC computer workstations with Cintiq 24 inch tablets. The Art Department offers Xencelabs pen tablets for 2D and 3D animation courses. For stop motion animation projects, students can check our DSLR cameras and tripods form the CAVE (Carthage Audio Video Equipment) space.
