I am currently an Industrial Design major with an interest in computer animation. Can I just switch my major to animation or do I need to apply for the animation major?
Being accepted into the Industrial Design program does not accept you into Animation any more than being accepted into any other major on campus. You must apply for the animation major following the application/portfolio guideline for the animation major. The two majors require different application materials that are reviewed by separate judging committees. The two majors have an impact on different resources (faculty, equipment, and facilities). The animation is a limited enrollment program and student numbers need to be regulated.
