<p>The D of a friend is interested in this field. She is a rising junior and regrets the route she took. She decided to attend a liberal arts college and design her own major. Her college is part of a 5 college grouping. She has had the problem of several of the courses she needs for her self designed major have not been offered in the last yr. Her advice would be to make sure the school has a wide range of classes in your area of interest. She loves her school but it has been frustrating.
She is looking at the option of taking a semester off and going to the local CC. Our local CC has a wide range of classes that she feels will help her find a job. She is doing this with the blessings of her college adviser at a fraction of the cost.
Your son might look if he can try some evening courses at a local CC in this field.
Also another thing this young woman did was do a summer program for high school students in Digital Arts at Cal Arts. (not sure if the program is just for Ca residents or not)</p>
