Disney's Imagineering Department is made up of employees with a wide range of job titles and job responsibilities, and therefore, as you might well imagine a wide variety of educational backgrounds. No one at Imagineering conceptualizes a new attraction, designs it, budgets it, builds it, scripts it, and trains employees to operate it - new attractions grow from the cooperative work of many, many different people that contribute to Disney's multi-million dollar projects.



If you want to study towards the goal of becoming a Disney Imagineer, you need to give some thought to the particular aspects of project design that interest you. Right now, on the Disney career site, there are several openings for positions in Imagineering:



Here's a couple:



Project architect: Prepares architectural design and construction contract documents, provides administrative and technical direction to in-house architects, as well as outside consultants, monitors progress of work through all phases of design and construction and ensures conformance to code standards. This is a very high level position, which requires an architectural license in either California or Florida AND a minimum of at least 12 years experience as a large scale project director, detailed knowledge of CAD design, and a host of other criteria.



A mechanical engineer associate is engaged in concept design and mock-ups, stress testing and prototype manufacturing. To qualify for this position, you would need at least a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering, though the job description suggests that a masters degree is desired.



The are no jobs listed at the moment for cartoonists or animators, but obviously, applicants for those sorts of positions would require a completely different academic background.



It really doesn't matter what college you go to, so long as you go to a university that is respected for the academic rigor of its programs. What's more important is that you engage in a course of study that will prepare you for some specific type of position that you are interested in. But note, however, that Disney Imagineering is rarely an entry level career opportunity - most of the prominent positions at Disney go to well-established, veteran members of their profession, with significant track records of accomplishment for other companies and firms.



You mentioned a specific interest in concept artist/illustrator positions - obviously, you'll need to find a school with a graphic arts program that offers the very latest in technology and skilled faculty.



I wish you the best of luck - it would really be an amazing opportunity to be offered a position as one of Disney's Imagineers.What college would i want to go to become a concept artist/illustrator for Walt disney world?
