Animation Schools in Kansas

A degree in animation is required for anyone who wants to work within the art industry at this level. While 60% of artists and related workers are self-employed, animators can generally find work with a variety of businesses and organizations who can utilize their skills. Professional animators usually work for production companies, computer animation services, and related professional businesses and organizations. Some will find success in working on their own, but in-house positions are always more successful for animation graduates. It is important to note that this career generally requires a 2-4 year degree or higher in order to become successful, but there are no formal licensing or certification requirements for graduates. Those who choose to study animation will find careers in a variety of places, and the salaries that they earn will vary greatly. The average national salary for animators and multimedia artists is around $56,000 annually, which is higher than many art professions but still much lower than the salaries of those who work in advertising and public relations with an art degree. Animators can expect to see about 14% growth through the next ten years, which is about o track with the national average. The most opportunities and the highest-paid positions will go to the professionals who have the most education and experience in animation.
