Three Basic Categories of Art and Film Schools 

Each category has a different focus when concerning admissions, for example:

bulletgeneral colleges and universities (focuses more on academics)
bullettechnical schools (focuses more on portfolio)
bulletart schools (focuses more on portfolio and often require some fine art skills such as drawing)

* One thing to consider when you begin to look at the different educational possibilities in art, film, animation, and media art is the different types of schools that offer programs and what areas they concentrate in.
