Hi everyone,

3. and 6 months certificate course in sun java [Done parallel with college]
4. and a diploma in 3d animation form Maac[Maya academy of advanced cinematics] attended for 6months but before the course was completed i got recruited by an animation company. [Done after college]
I have 4years professional experience in the field of animation as modelling and texturing artist working in india.
I am interested in doing the MFA in Computer animation and visual effects,
and was considering the Academy of art University because they have accepted my 15 years education they are just concerned with a bachelor degree and are also offering a specialization in 3d modeling the total cost per academic year is coming upto $36000 with housing is it worth the money and how is the education here and can i get a job with this education.
I am not from an art background as my qualification says mostly self taught i do little bit of sketching but not a master at it is it advisable to go for a MFA in animation will it enable me to improve as an artist and get a job in the industry in US.

Savannah College of Art and Design is also offering an MFA but am not sure if my 15 years education is enough although they said that is is acceptable but an answer can only be given once i have applied and my file has been reviewed, is it wise to just apply to these colleges without knowing if i will be accepted because all application is $100 which good amount when i consider in india.
Just wanted to know which other institutes are offering MFA in computer animation and how good are they and will it help me in my career.
Can someone help me out with this
Thanks In Advance
