School of Communication's Animation Program Named Among the Best

March 23, 2026

Webster University's Animation Program in the School of Communications was named as one of the top 5 in Missouri by Animation Career Review, a website for people aspiring for careers in animation, game development/design/art, graphic design, digital art and related fields. The program was also named among the top 25 in the Midwest in the website's annual college program rankings. This is the fourth time the program has been named among the best by the magazine.

"At Webster, we've built a learning environment that prioritizes creativity, experimentation, and close faculty mentorship, giving students the space to develop their voice and push their work further." said Professor of Animation Chris Sagovac, chair of the media arts department in the School of Communications. "Students train on industry-standard tools, enabling them to contribute creatively and effectively from the moment they're hired."

In 2022, the website ranked Webster's program among the top 25 in the country. The site also named Webster's program as one of the best in the Midwest in 2021. In 2024, it was ranked again as among the best in the country but also as one of the best in Missouri.

According to Animation Career Review, the site looked at a program's academic reputation, admissions selectivity, employment data for alumni, faculty credentials, debt levels for recent graduates, graduation rates and retention rates to score programs. Information sources included surveys to the schools, employment data from LinkedIn, data from the federal government's Education College Scorecard and information found online about specific programs. Animation Career Review has been ranking programs annually since 2012.
