Rutgers–Camden Animation Program Ranked #1 in New Jersey
February 2, 2024
Rutgers University–Camden’s rapidly growing animation program was recently recognized as the best in the state.
Animation Career Review, an online resource for aspiring animators and game designers, placed the program atop its list of New Jersey’s academic offerings in animation.
The site used data on academic reputation, admissions, faculty, tuition, graduation rates, and employment to formulate its rankings, noting exceptional career outcomes for Rutgers–Camden alumni. Graduates of the animation program have worked in the 3D animation industry for Walt Disney, Digital Domain, and Warner Bros., lending their talents to films, television series, and video games like “Frozen,” “Ice Age,” “Sesame Street,” and Assassin’s Creed.
“Earning New Jersey’s top ranking affirms the hard work of our animation faculty and the achievements of our alumni,” said LiQin Tan, professor of art and head of the animation program. “This distinction also confirms the education we offer is in line with the industry’s demands.”
