Best Animation Programs in Nebraska

When the recession hit, the animation industry took a tumble, but it didn’t take long for it to bounce back. Today, animation is one of the fastest growing industries in the nation, thanks to advances in technology and the use of animation in everything from ads to mobile apps to educational materials. Animation, as you may already know, is also used in commercials, music videos, feature films, and television series. It is also becoming more popular in law enforcement, the medical field, engineering, science, architecture, and more.

Thanks to an increasing demand for animators, the nations schools have joined the cause. Many of them, even traditional colleges, now offer programs for animators and some have managed to rise to the top. With so much growth in the industry and the number of degree programs, college ranking agencies have stepped up to help separate the good from the not-so-good and the good from the best. They evaluate schools based on factors such as the number and variety of program offerings, peer assessment, financial resources, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources (such as class size), and student selectivity. Each factor carries a certain amount of weight, which helps calculate a final overall score.

The state of Nebraska is home to more than 40 accredited colleges and universities. Many of these schools scored high in all areas and they also happen to offer some of the best animation programs around. While a number of these schools are located in principal cities such as Lincoln and Omaha, you can also find them in small cities like Chadron and Kearney.
