NYU Tisch's UGFTV Program was included in The Hollywood Reporter's inaugural list of America’s Top Animation Schools.
Schools were selected based on survey responses from ASIFA-Hollywood, the Animation Guild, Black N Animated and LatinX in Animation, and weighted with key data — graduation and retention rates, cost and more — provided by the institutions and the Department of Education.
"Housed within the undergrad film and TV major, NYU’s Kanbar Animation Area provides an atelier experience focused on training students to become storytellers and filmmakers. Students of various experience levels develop an artistic voice while becoming grounded in the principles and art of animation, with room for the development of specialized skills in advanced studies. Facilities include a stop-motion animation room and a capture studio with a wraparound greenscreen. NYU guarantees that every first-year undergraduate admitted to the New York campus whose family’s income is less than $100,000 a year can attend for free."
