About our Program.
The academy is divided into four areas of concentration (studios). Students will either pursue the filmmaking, design, digital music, or gaming/animation studios. Students can choose to take courses in multiple studios if their schedule allows. Elective courses are also offered to the Graphic Arts students including 2D Animation, Special Effects in Film, Photography, and 3D Creature Design.
All incoming students will need to apply to The Academy of Entertainment Arts and then select the studio they wish to pursue after being accepted into the academy.

Most Academy students take multiple AEA courses every year. An AEA student can, in their four years, take every course offered in our program. Though the minimum requirement is to take three years of one studio.
