www.gnomon.edu Cost: from $993 to $1,323

Gnomon is known as the MIT of visual effects, and its online courses provide the same academic rigour as its campus-based ones. Live classes by industry pros such as Ron Lemen and Dave Pasciuto take place once a week for 10 weeks and are available four terms per year. Note that online courses are only open to artists living in California or outside the US.

Gnomon provides online courses for artists who are seeking training direct from Hollywood, coupled with the convenience of learning from home.
