[FreshDood]

I want to learn how to do special effects and set design for films and such but I dont know what to go to college for. I know there is a minor of set design but what kind of Major would I take to learn about special effects?

Full Sail looks like the type of school I want to go to, Im thinking maybe a major in Set Design and minor in Graphic Design. Anyone know any school around New Jersey area that offer both?
