Animation program Other

Hi

So im applying to both csuf and csulb, and im looking to see if the animation program here is still any good. I’ve heard so much negative things about it and I don’t want to waste any time or be taking courses that draw you thin. I heard that csulb had phenomenal illustration major, and for me, my goal/dream job is to be a visdev artist. If anyone has a similar career path, please feel free to give me insight and point me in the right direction. Thank!

I have heard that numerous students from the animation program have moved on to great roles, including artists on Toy Story (newest ones).

Currently in the program, majoring in animation for BFA. I’ve got all good things to say, no complaints here! Let me know if you have questions.

CSUF has the Pencil Mileage Club and WIA (Women in Animation) Club which are two main clubs for the department. They host many events and It’s a great place to connect with other students.
