You might find this list of colleges helpful. I know Digipen has a good list of their classes online, which would help you understand the type of skills and courses people take in their program.

Sarah’s Answer

I second Julia's answer about Digipen, I know several people who graduated from Digipen and have gotten great jobs. Because Digipen is located in Redmond, WA where there is a huge tech sector, there is availability to get contract work through companies like Volt after graduating to build up your career and get good solid experience.
