I see you have lots of California schools listed. Is California the only state you would like to study in? California is a great state (been here all my life) but sometimes you wonder if living in the soon-to-be most heavily taxed state is worth it.

If you are open to other areas, you may want to look at the program at Texas A & M University:

Graduates from this program seem to be placing well (but remember, its the quality of your work that will land you a job, not the name on your diploma).

Also, have you looked into non-traditional (online) schools such as Animation Mentor? Maybe a Master's degree is a bit much if you're mainly interested in animation.
