There is a big difference. You better wise up or else be an easy target for multimedia schools that will charge you a lot but just gives you the plug in know how. Character design is a function of Design Principles, Basic Organic or Inorganic Form Construction and Composition. Usually, a designer knows two things namely a) Construction on Paper and b) Construction using a Model.
Character Animation is different. It deals with Basic Principles of Motion and Space. It requires a lot of creative analysis and familiarity with the fundamental laws of Physics. Now that you know the basic info, be wise and asks your teacher about these things. Maybe you are spending the right money on the wrong school.
