So what field is computer animation? What do you have to major in? You know when you have a list of majors/careers? What would you put computer animation under? Sorry i don't know much about animation and i wanted to know. Is it under Arts? It's just weird because I would never consider majoring in Arts but I want to do computer animation. I just wanted to deal with the computer aspect of it... Maybe animation isn't what i want then.

Concordia University, in Montreal Quebec, Canada. The fine Arts program has the Film Animation Major. Plenty of schools have animation programs. If you only wanna deal with the computer aspect, register in a trade school (some in montreal are Center NAD, CINAQ, and there are others). If you wanna do video games, apply to Digipen in Vancouver. Look around. maybe animation isn't what you want after all, if ya did, you would've been looking and already found out about some schools that offer animation, and whether or not those schools have it listed under fine arts, communications, home economics or Health Science.

Here's a list of ALL of 'em including Concordia.

The requirements differ from school to school; Carnegie Malon University, for instance, requires a degree, but your portfolio is what they take into consideration. If you're a programmer with no design capabilities or visa versa, they might accept you based on your individuality or creativity. Each school as it's own prerequisites, so look around at the different campuses and see what you want.

(Carnegie Malon's entertainment technology center has a huge vertual reality thing... I was reading about that)
