I emailed fine arts about my dilema (whether to move to CNTV or stay in fine arts) and they replied…:



There is a new animation major (in addition to the animation minor that is currently offered) offered thru the USC School of Cinema-Television. I believe it will be ready for this fall 2006, but because it is so new, they could not advertise it yet.

So you will most likely have a choice: either major in animation or something else related to it, such as art. You can certainly come in to USC as an art major and then switch over to the animation program whenever you want. Or you can do both, either with a double major or with a major in one and a minor in the other. Whichever you prefer.



Ok…SO i’m just finding out about this… that kind of sucks.

As tempted as I am to take this as a major, I’m afraid since it IS so new. I’m afraid I’m going to be the guinea pig or something into this new major…

Does anybody know anything about this?

-PS Does anybody know about Fine Art (studio art) department @ USC? I heard it is weak… because if it is really weak and not productive, then i rather goto animation even if its new… (least i’ll hopefully be doing something i like) also, that might save me grad school money…
