Want To Get Schooled By Levelord?

Kelli Hagen writes to point out a new CNN article about college degrees in video gaming, particularly the new 18-month course offered by The Guildhall at SMU. We've run stories on gaming university courses before, but this course is interesting because it has leading Texan game developers helping with curriculum and teaching, including id's Graeme Devine, Monkeystone's Tom Hall, and, of course, Ritual's highly 'individual' Richard 'Levelord' Gray.

    Personally speaking, a degree is worthwhile if I get the satisfaction and personal experience I expect for the money I paid. It need not necessarily further my career goals.

    Though granted, furthering one's career is generally the kind of satisfaction and personal experience most people are looking for, at least when it comes to education. :)
