This degree will teach you many different aspects of the design process including things like "animation," "3D animation" and "cartoon animation." You will be required to learn some core classes like math and science, but most of the classes will be related to the design process. Expect to go through certain classes that pertain to physical drawing and physical animation that is done by hand. Westwood college has locations in California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Texas and Virginia.

    The Art Institute

    • The Art institute is one of the most prestigious art and design colleges in North America. It has received high ratings by ArtSchools.com and is one of their "featured" top design schools.
