Sheridan’s world-renowned Computer Animation Program has been stocking Hollywood with talent since the 1980s. Sheridan was the first animation school to begin teaching computer animation, and our program has launched many prominent careers while breaking new ground in the entertainment, advertising, and gaming industries. 

At Sheridan you’ll learn to communicate, using computer animation as your instrument. During eight months of intensive hands-on training, you’ll work with the same high-end 3-D computer animation software, technology, and techniques the professionals use.

A Studio on Campus: Sheridan’s instructors are industry veterans who helped pioneer today’s computer animation methods and tools. And our students are often accomplished artists in their own right: Each year’s class includes people trained as classical animators, illustrators, filmmakers, graphic designers, architects, and industrial designers.  You’ll work in a professional environment in the Sheridan Centre for Animation and Emerging Technologies (SCAET), surrounded by talented classmates and led by the best instructors. It’s no wonder that Sheridan’s stands alone among computer animation schools.
