PORTFOLIO REVIEW Spring 2024 Submissions due May 9th, 2024 | 5:00 PM RATIONAL The 3D Animation and Video Game industries are highly competitive and demanding. Finding work in this environment requires a strong portfolio that can compete in a national and international arena. Understanding this reality, the ANGD department strives to help students find if they will be successful in this major as early as possible in their academic career. The first year of the curriculum is dedicated to giving students an overview of the varying areas and skills used in the 3D industry. At the end of the first year of study, all ANGD students are required to submit a portfolio of the work completed in the ANGD first-year core. Only upon passage of this Portfolio Review can students enter the Animation or Modeling concentrations and continue study within the major. Portfolios are reviewed at the end of the first year. All transfer students who wish to start in the Modeling or Animation concentration classes must submit a portfolio at the scheduled portfolio review time the SPRING semester before they plan to attend. Since the number of applicants will vary each year, passing grades in first-year classes will not guarantee admission to the major. Students who do not pass the portfolio review may resubmit a portfolio the following year – although it is usually advised that these students instead pick an alternative major. Students who plan on resubmitting a portfolio for review should retake some or all of the first-year courses to enhance their portfolio.
