<p>That is a very specialized area and a very competitive industry. It unlikely you will find anyone here to answer those questions but you never know. You might do better in the College Majors section under Visual Arts. Here is one discussion thread on that major:

<p>One thing, Art Institutes are a chain of for-profit schools; this is different from most U.S. traditional universities that are non-profit. Quality will vary by location. They are usually less competitive to get in because they often just look for warm bodies who can write a check. However some are known for specialty areas. Just proceed with caution. Also check Art Academy of San Francisco. Same deal with the for-profit but they likely have a bit better reputation, not positive, check it out yourself.</p>

<p>Some of this film list have animation programs:

<p>These may focus on undergrad but you will find some with grad offerings. I see a few Art Institutes made this list but not the SF one:
