Theres standalone art schools like, Rhode Island School of Design, Savanah College of Art and Design, Maryland Institute College of Art, California Institute of Arts.

There are other programs at some major universities. However there are not many choices are major uni's, as there arent to many that offer undergrad programs for animation or film production, most colleges that have animation and film programs, only have it at the graduate level.

Great school for film and animation, and also different kinds of computer graphics, especially print design. Hey, I would know, I go here.

Regarding FullSail. Check out Full Sail Sucks. I didn't go there, just something I stumbled upon. You may also want to check out the Art Institutes.

I had a few friends while at CMU who were majoring in art/architechture... lmk if you want more info.
