Low Introductory Tuition Rate and Financing

CGLC realizes that current economic times make it all the more difficult for students to afford a quality education. As a result, we are offering a limited introductory tuition rate of only $18,000 a year. Compared to similar schools, such as the Art Institute of Charlotte with a tuition rate of $28,000 and a high student to teacher ratio of 27:1, we anticipate our school to have a low ratio of only 10:1.

In addition, we have finalized a financial assistance program. We are asking for a down payment of $5,000. The remaining balance of $13,000 can be financed over 5 years at an interest rate of only 8%, which results in a monthly payment of only $263.

Please contact us and we can work out a personalized finance plan that will work within your means.

For more information, please review our updated Financing page.

Great Turnout at the Animation Meetup CGLC Social on 1/20

The joint meetup on Tuesday 1/20 between the Charlotte Animation and Game Development Group at CGLC drew a solid turnout of about 40 people.

The event was a good networking opportunity for local animators, graphic designers and game development enthusiasts. Participants enjoyed finger foods, drinks and a brief teaching moment by Tom Wright on rigging. Dieter Wagner presented a first look at a revised demo reel, which was both entertaining and impressive. Chase Gordon demonstrated some of his recent work using Blender.

The Game Development Meetup showcased some very innovative work in music and game concepts. Look for regular CGLC Social Meetups in the future through our meetup link: http://www.meetup.com/Animation-Meetup/
