RDC announces first degree in Animation and Visual Effects
It’s Red Deer College’s first step toward becoming a university.
Advanced Education Minister Marlin Schmidt joined RDC leaders, faculty, staff and guests on Wednesday for the announcement of a new four-year degree, Bachelor of Applied Arts in Animation and Visual Effects.
Twenty-two students will start in the program in September on their path toward careers in areas such as video game creation and film animation. It’s the first new degree program to be offered since RDC was given degree-granting status in March and the first of its kind in Alberta.
