Once you are accepted into Brigham Young University, you must follow the steps under How To Apply in order to be accepted into the Animation Program. The Course Map, which outlines requirements for both the Animation Program and University, can be found here. Many non-LDS students have been a part of the Animation Program in the past and have made great contributions to the program and to the industry. However, if you are non-LDS, you will still be required to live the BYU Honor Code and complete the University General Education requirements which include various math, English, history, and religion courses. You do not need to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to be accepted into BYU or into the BYU Animation Program. A link to the BYU Admissions Services page may be found here. (Some additional helpful links: Faculty and Facilities) Acceptance to Brigham Young University and BYU Animationįirst, a few important things to know: Acceptance to the animation program must first be preceded by acceptance to Brigham Young University (Provo, UT). As always, you may approach any member of the faculty to ask for a portfolio review prior to or after the application process to know how to make yourself better stand out as an applicant. We cannot guarantee that you will be accepted into the program, but we can guarantee that your portfolio will be carefully and prayerfully considered.

However, if you show great initiative, work hard to improve, frequently seek feedback, and are helpful to others around you, you will receive great consideration and have a good chance of success.

While this is the best way we have found to organize the program for maximum student success, this means that it can make acceptance into the program more competitive and challenging. It is a closed-enrollment program with smaller class sizes involving lots of teamwork and collaboration, allowing for greater interaction between teachers and other students as an integral part of the curriculum. If you are a prospective student of the BYU Animation Program, congratulations! You are looking into one of the best and nationally recognized programs for hands-on, real-life experience that will prepare you for the animation industry.
