Animation Schools by Country
Animation education is organized differently in every country: degrees, diplomas and qualification levels do not map one to one. Each country page explains its own structure and lists the verified programs, in any teaching language.
Animation schools in United States
50 verified programs · 31 schools · USD
Animation in the United States is taught inside a decentralized system of institutions, so the same subject can sit under different degree titles and departments. Two federal checks sit behind a school: authorization by its state and accreditation by a recognized accrediting agency. International students additionally need a school certified under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program to study on an F or M visa.

Animation schools in Canada
9 verified programs · 7 schools · CAD
Education in Canada is a provincial and territorial responsibility, so degree-granting authority, quality assurance and fee rules differ by province. Universities and colleges both grant credentials and animation is taught in each, but a college diploma and a university degree are different qualifications. International students need a letter of acceptance from a designated learning institution to apply for a study permit.
