<p>Ranking criteria explained:
"We started publishing regional and national rankings in 2012 in response to myriad emails from aspiring animators and game designers asking us what the best schools were in the US, a given State, or in a particular area of the country. In preparing the 2014 rankings, we considered hundreds of schools in the US that offered programs geared towards animation or game design. In the end, our goal is to give students access to ample information so they can make an informed decision about the school they choose to attend and the program they pursue. </p>

<p>The criteria we used in making this list consists, in no particular order, of the following:</p>

<p>Academic reputation
Admission selectivity
Depth and breadth of the program and faculty
Value as it relates to tuition and indebtedness
Geographic location"</p>
