Pursuing Animation Program

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi, I'm an architecture student at the University of Washington, and I need help in deciding my future education.
My situation is that I've realized I wanted to do animation, so I'm planning to pursue the program after I get the degree in architecture, which is next year (1 year left). The problem is that I'm not sure whether I should start over with BFA, or jump straight ahead for MFA, or going just for the Diploma. I can financially support any of these three choices, and I prefer to study at art schools where they specialize in teaching animation. </p>

<p>I'd like to hear some thoughts on this and how I should plan it out. My goal is to make the best of my education in animation and hoping to pursue it as my career. I'd appreciate for you help. Thank you.</p>

<p>Since you have only one year left in your architecture degree, I suggest you to finish that degree and then apply for MFA in animation. Where do you plan to live and work after graduation? Think about internship, where do you want to be? Have you tried posting your questions in the Visual Arts and Film Majors Forum? You should be able to find more advice there.</p>
