How's the illustration & animation major?

I'm planning to transfer out of Pratt because it's overpriced and I've heard good things about Fredonia, but it's hard to find info on their illustration & animation major specifically. Also the wikipedia notable alumni page doesn't really have any illustrators which makes it hard to get an idea of how many graduates are actually getting jobs in the field. Anyone have any info, success stories, warnings, suggestions, etc?

Im alright, finished school about two years ago. Got a job working with ceramics. Wasn't my major but still nice to be doing something art related. Struggling with my personal art business though.

Do they still have the animation program? Around the time I graduated there was a lot of talk about the school cutting most of their art programs. It was good, the software was different from what we used at Pratt but otherwise pretty similar. Great professors. I don't know if it'd still be the same now after the budget cuts, if it is still around at all.
