fxphd.com October09 Term Overview from fxphd.com on Vimeo.
Someone once put on a bumper sticker- "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance." Ah, wit and wisdom, what a combination. In Dec of 2000, after several tries at college, at a few different institutions of higher learning, I finally finished my degree and graduated with a B.A. in Computer Animation. At the time, the total cost of my degree was a little less than $35,000. That same degree today costs in excess of $71,000 and next year will be over $75,000. Crazy huh? Who can afford this?
Although I am glad I received a formal degree, the options today for an education in animation for video games or TV/Movies are huge. FX Phd is the best in my opinion. Totally online, learn at your own pace, post questions in the forums, its great. All this for only $330 for a 10 week term.
The only downside is that you don't earn any college credits, but who cares? People in the industry don't, they care about your demo reel, and will hire you or pass almost exclusively on it's strength or weakness alone.

I totaly agree. I feel sorry for the student now that are actually paying that much for a degree in an industry that is so hard to get into.
