Alejandro –

I have been looking for graduate motion graphics programs myself. I’ve done research for a few years, on a few programs,
and visited a lot of schools.

I fully agree with Aharon, look at the quality of the schools,
visit as many as you can, talk with professors and students.
Some schools focus on technical mastery and others more on concept and idea generation.

The two schools that always come up with freelancers that I’ve worked with are Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), which has a specific motion graphics focus, and Otis in L.A. Personally wasn’t impressed by Otis during one of their college open houses.

I live in New York, and I’d say the best programs here are at School for Visual Arts and Parsons. These two however, do not have a specific motion graphics focus. Motion graphics classes are under the umbrella of graphics and illustration.

New York University (NYU) has a certificate program through the Continuing Education division. The classes, however, seem more production and technically oriented, and less conceptual.

Again, it’s up to you, to decide what you want out of a program. A rep. from SCAD told me that the undergrad program was concerned more with equipping their students with portfolios and job skills, and at the graduate school level, the focus is less on ‘artifacts’ and more about concept development.

Try to attend a National Portfolio Day, if you can.

All of the schools will be there with brochures.
You can talk to representatives in person,
and get critiques on your work.

Hope this helps out, and good luck!

Best,
