RIT School of Film And Animation Among Top Animation Schools in US

Animation Career Review, a renowned online resource for aspiring animation and game design professionals, has named Rochester Institute of Technology’s (RIT) School of Film and Animation among the best animation schools in the United States once again.

Since its inception in 2011, Animation Career Review provides information on training programs, schools and universities, software and technology, career profiles, and profiles of key industry firms to aspiring animation, design, and gaming professionals.

Key Takeaways:

  • The School of Film and Animation at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) has been awarded one of the best animation schools in the United States for the second year in a row.
  • Academic excellence, entrance selectivity, program depth, breadth, faculty, and tuition value all ranked highly at RIT.
  • A BS in motion picture science is also available at RIT, giving students one of the most diverse curriculum options in the country.

The online resource analyzed roughly 200 US institutions that offer animation majors when compiling its 2022 rankings.

Here’s how RIT placed in separate rankings:

  • No. 12 nationally (among the top 7 percent of schools);
