Important Links you will most likely want

In this area it is my effort to answer many Many MANY questions that I get as an Educator... 
The links provided here are a guide for people that want to know more about the industry in general. 


Some people want to know where they can go to further their education, others are curious how to get into the industry, Parents want to know where their students should go to get the best opportunities for their future. 


In this section I have provided links for you to answer these questions


The Organization of the links that are provided 

I have sought to organize the links in the most helpful way that I can think of. The pages that are located in this area are specific to whatever you need. I have a page just for the top Animation schools, the top Video game design schools and Local schools. Some of the Video game schools are only for programmers though... I have tried to label these so you know in advance. Animation Schools do not JUST teach Animation, as many of the skills translate over into video game design. 
Top Animation Schools
Top Video Game Schools
Local Schools/Colleges
