Anyone know of any New England colleges that offer degrees in 3D modelling and animation?

by 3D jon

I live in central Maine and I want to go to school for 3D modelling and/or animation but the closest one I’ve found is somewhere in Florida. Does anyone know of any schools in the New England area? If not, what would be the closest?

    most art colleges provides animation in their schools.
    i think pennsylvania, newyork, and rhode island have lots of art schools (sorry i dont know the specific names of them)
    you can look up their websites and check out their majors to see if animation is one of them
    good luck :]]

    but i did hear that the one in florida is one of the best because it actually works with the pixar studio
    so if you’re looking for quality then you might want to consider going to the one in florida instead

    For animation, you want to study at the best art school that you can. And there are lots of those in the New England area. Those that offer animation (and you can focus on 3D animation within the broader animation field) or computer animation are:
    - Rhode Island School of Design
    - Mass Art
    - Maine College of Art
    - Boston University
    - Suffolk University (New England School of Art & Design)

    And check if University of Maine offers anything. They might. Likewise UNH and UMass Amherst. Those schools do have art majors, and they do have some computer art classes, but I don’t remember, offhand, if you can focus on 3D animation.

    If you’re willing to go further from home, you can find programs at:
    - NYU
    - Parsons
    - Pratt
    - School of Visual Arts
    - Syracuse
    - Rochester Institute of Technology
    - Rensselaer Polytechnic

    Sometimes, to find this major, you have to look under either animation, or under media/film. So if you broaden your search beyond the specifics of 3D animation, and find programs in animation or media/film, check each program specifically to see if they offer 3D animation specifically. So start broader, then get narrow. Don’t start so narrow.

    Try to avoid tech schools or career colleges. I’m not loving that one in Florida, btw.
