<p>I was thinking maybe computer science, but i heard from posts that it's not a solid major. But, I don't also want to major in something "obscure" like art.
Although I have a passion for art, I don't think I can make living with art, being an international living in a foreign country. Any thoughts? please.</p>
<p>computer science is more programmings...you can take graphics degree I think..or if you are interested mechanical engineering uses art too..you get to design machine parts, cars etc..if you are into that thing.</p>
<p>If you want computer graphics, you'll need to go, if not to an art school, a school with a strong art program. Graphic Artists don't even touch computers until they've had many foundation courses in drawing, painting, etc.</p>
<p>Computer graphics as in... developing 3D video engines and game graphics and improving on the software of CAD? Then computer science is good.</p>
<p>If you mean making art by using a computer, then an art school would be the choice.</p>
<p>Making computers that make art. Making art with computers. Which one?</p>
<p>Ouch. I meant like making movies with softwares like 3ds max and maya. But I really can't go to an art school because my parents will never let me.</p>
<p>Yea, then your best option would be to go to a school with a strong art program or look for schools with Digital Media Design programs. Penn has one in their engineering school that I may transfer into after my freshman year if I am drawn toward it.</p>
<p>how is it "not a solid major"</p>
<p>You should look at Carnegie Mellon. Their graphic design department includes computer graphics, and even though you graduate with a B.F.A. degree you can do something else if you need to since you have a CMU diploma. I ended up going to law school.</p>
