<p>Does anybody know which institutes/colleges offer a dual degree program in computer science and in art (specifically animation)?</p>
<p>I don’t know specifically about animation, but my daughter is considering a master’s at University of Texas at Dallas in Art and Technology and they do offer an undergrad in this as well, with several possible tracks and I think there might have been one in animation. They’re in the process of building a brand new building to house the art and technology program.</p>
<p>If you have the grades, consider applying to UPenn’s Digital media and design (DMD) program. It’s got lots of animation and graphics, but unlike most other digital media degrees, Penn teaches lots of programming alongside the art. Lots of their students graduate and go work with big movie companies like Disney or dreamworks. It’s not dual degree, but it’s got a nice blend of computer science and art.</p>
<p>By grades what should i have at a “recommended” level for applying there because my dad told me about the same thing about the DMD at UPenn but i couldn’t find information on their requirements on any forum or so into getting into the program.</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon offers a Bachelor’s in Computer Science and Art’s, and it’s known for being among the top in both areas!</p>
<p>For Carnegie Mellon, do you know if i can apply for early decision to one school and then send a normal application to another and be accepted into both so that i can be legible for there dual degree program or does that not work?</p>
<p>Any college with both majors could theoretically be suitable, if you can fit all of the requirements of both majors into eight semesters or twelve quarters.</p>
<p>It may be easier administratively if the majors are not impacted, and are not in different divisions of the college (e.g. college of engineering versus college of arts and sciences).</p>
<p>Another option is to just major in one while taking the desired electives in the other.</p>
<p>For Carnegie Mellon, it is all one application. I think you check a box if you want to do a dual degree, but I’m not completely sure.</p>
<p>I don’t know if there are special requirements for DMD at Penn, but generally Penn applicants have straight A’s in hard classes (AP/IB/honors depending on what your school offers), and SAT scores look something like this:
CR: 660-750
M: 690-780
W: 670-770
And of course you need “strong ECs”.
I’m pretty sure they ask you for what other programs you might like if you don’t get accepted to DMD, so you can go and do CS and Art separately if you get accepted to Penn but not DMD.</p>
