California Institute of the Arts
California Institute of the Arts, commonly known as CalArts, was founded in 1961 through the merger of the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music and the Chouinard Art Institute, with significant funding and involvement from Walt Disney, who envisioned a combined school for all the arts under one institution. The school built an especially strong reputation in animation specifically, and its alumni include numerous influential figures who went on to lead major animation studios, reflecting CalArts's close historical ties to Disney and the broader Los Angeles entertainment industry. CalArts has also built a significant reputation for experimental and avant-garde approaches across music, theater, and fine arts, giving the school a somewhat unusual dual identity spanning both mainstream entertainment animation training and more conceptually experimental artistic disciplines. CalArts's combination of its founding with direct Walt Disney involvement and its outsized influence on the professional animation industry has made it one of the most distinctively positioned art schools in the country.

Savannah College of Art and Design
The Savannah College of Art and Design was founded in 1978 in Savannah, Georgia, notably later than most other major American art schools, and it grew rapidly by restoring numerous historic downtown Savannah buildings into campus facilities rather than building an entirely new dedicated campus. SCAD distinguished itself with an unusually broad range of specialized degree programs, including animation, game design, and themed entertainment design, subjects that many older, more traditional art schools had not historically emphasized as heavily. The college expanded significantly beyond its original Savannah campus, adding locations in Atlanta and Hong Kong along with online degree programs, growing into one of the largest private art and design schools in the world by total enrollment. SCAD's combination of its distinctive historic-building campus restoration model and its unusually broad range of modern specialized design programs has made it one of the fastest-growing and most expansive art schools in the country.
