<p>Although I'm not sure my major will be, I always wanted to be a comic book artist... However no such major exists (well it exists in Japan and Korea) so I wanted to be an Animation major...</p>

<p>Does anybody know a good animation school (doesn't matter 3D or 2D although I like 2D more than 3D.. I think most schools cover both) with a good rate of getting a job after you graduate? Please help.. Thanks.</p>

<p>Well RISD is probably decent in it. SVA is well known and actually started as a cartooning school, to the best of my knowledge ( in order to not sound so autocratic). Check them out.</p>

<p>sva has a whole separate cartooning department, (in addition to animation) As for animation, there is syracuse, pratt, savannah, etc. - don't know if they have cartooning as well.</p>

<p>Try Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, FL. They have an incredible animation department, character and concept development, and they have a new gaming minor.</p>

<p>USC has an undergraduate minor in Animation to go along with its MFA program in the subject.</p>

<p>Although my daughter did know students who were interested in cartooning/comics at RISD, I think their film/animation department has a different orientation on the whole. <a href="http://risd.edu/pdf/facts/FAV.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://risd.edu/pdf/facts/FAV.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>As Modiam notes, SVA has an undergraduate department devoted to cartooning: <a href="http://www.schoolofvisualarts.edu/ug/index.jsp?sid0=1&sid1=16%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.schoolofvisualarts.edu/ug/index.jsp?sid0=1&sid1=16&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>SCAD has undergrad and graduate degrees in Sequential Art and traditional Animation.There is also a Visual Effects degree program, undergrad and grad. I believe SCAD grads have worked on - to name two - visual effects for Spiderman and The Matrix if I am not mistaken.</p>
