College Majors Visual Arts and Film Majors

<p>So I want to study Animation and Special Effects or something close to that (like Game and Interactive Media Design). I dont know of many schools that offer those majors. Only school that I have found with a Animation Major is Drexel University in Philly.</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated. Only ones I dont want are any that are "The Art Institute of...", and I mean the ones whose logo is a red capital A and lowercase i. </p>

<p>Anything else I will take, no matter where it is.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Your lack of research is disturbing. If you simply google animation schools., you would find many . Even here, there are many threads. For example:</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visual-arts-film-majors/999043-masters-animation-college-us-canada.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visual-arts-film-majors/999043-masters-animation-college-us-canada.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>and <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visual-arts-film-majors/1241951-online-3d-animation-training.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visual-arts-film-majors/1241951-online-3d-animation-training.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>and ESPECIALLY <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visual-arts-film-majors/1238699-really-need-help-whats-good-school-animation.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visual-arts-film-majors/1238699-really-need-help-whats-good-school-animation.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Also, go to the forums in the CG talk site. You can find CG talk by searching for them on google. They have forums. In the forums , you will find a thread “colleges and schools.”</p>

<p>Have you looked into Chapman’s Dodge College for Digital Arts? Some colleges maybe listed under Animation and some maybe listed under Digital Arts.
[B.F.A&lt;/a&gt;. Digital Arts - Dodge College of Film and Media Arts](<a href=“http://ftv.chapman.edu/programs/sodaro-pankey_undergraduate_school_of_media_arts/digital_arts/]B.F.A”>http://ftv.chapman.edu/programs/sodaro-pankey_undergraduate_school_of_media_arts/digital_arts/)</p>

<p>Ha, taxguy is right, google up some more.</p>

<p>Check this out though: </p>

<p>[AICAD</a> - Find a School by Name](<a href=“http://aicad.org/byname.htm]AICAD”>http://aicad.org/byname.htm)</p>

<p>Good schools on that list, check them out and see if they have animation programs (most do).</p>

<p>Thanks for the answers…I had looked some of them up. I just wanted to see if maybe someone had some suggestion of where I could find some or know of some I might have missed. The only problem I found with googling “animation schools” is that I either get Art Institues (the ones I mentioned above) or some random schools that dont apply to me…</p>

<p>pipe,
A university you might consider for animation and digital arts is the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California. There is a new animation building which has the latest technology. Creative expression is encouraged in small classes. It is part of the $100+ million dollar complex donated and partially designed by the famous director/producer, George Lucas.</p>

<p>The Los Angeles location is a plus for connections to studios and game companies. Alumni from the school interact with students through visits, lectures, interviews, internships and workshops. I suggest you visit the school’s website and view some of the YouTube videos which also give you an insight into CSA’s mission and goals.</p>

<p>USC is a private university. SCA practices need blind admissions. The university offers both competitive merit scholarships and a large financial aid program.</p>

<p>The website for the School of Cinematic Arts is: [University</a> of Southern California](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu%5DUniversity”>http://www.usc.edu)</p>
