Here is what I've found from my school RIT in Rochester, NY. From my quick look, they offer both a BFA and a BS, the BFA being more arts based, and the BS being science based.

Regarding the comment about taking a lot of art related classes, I think you would be required to take a few. Even though 3D animation can be mostly computer based, it is still very visual. As an animator you are taking an idea or scene and representing it with your animation. The art classes help with that ability. While you may think that drawing classes, and other art classes may not be useful to you much (because you want to do computer animation) you have to remember that it is really giving you the training to be able to accurately show things visually in your animations.
