Founded in 1911, SMU is a private, comprehensive university located in Dallas, Texas.
Had me worried for a second. But a school in Texas would probably be an okay place to learn how to code first person shooters.

I had nightmares about what kind of video games a truly christian university would focus on.

"David Najjab - Aside from classroom assignments and projects, which will run throughout the entire program, our students will have weekly or biweekly LAN parties. "

LAN party 101

Part of the course work consists of LAN parties! This is the ultimate geek degree. Next we'll find out that their history texts consist of old D&D Modules.

Oh dear

The only problem is the learning curve of new technologies they were not taught puts them that far behind other programmers who went to tech school for 3 weeks to learn C# or something.

Um..... yes, about 3 weeks behind them.
