North American Animation And Effects Schools
For those seeking a career in the animation and effects business, Visual Effects Business (vfxpro.com) provides a broad compilation of schools in the greater United States and Canada. The VFX survey list the schools that offer courses in computer animation and FX. The resource is designed as a starting point for those who are looking for programs of study with an emphasis on real production. While many schools offer computer science programs that include animation FX components, these are primarily programming/theory-oriented ñ often more about creating the tools than the content. The selection presented reflects schools that offer degrees and certifications based on interdisciplinary fine arts and technical training, rather than those stressing foundations of computer science. Many of these schools, however, also offer computer science programs.
