EA Makes Multi-Million Dollar Gift to USC

An anonymous reader writes "The University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television, thanks to a multi-million dollar gift from game industry powerhouse Electronic Arts, have started a game design track within the Interactive Media Division. 'The School's rich storytelling tradition and long-standing commitment to technological experimentation make it an ideal partner for EA,' said Don Mattrick of EA. The entire press release can be read from the department's weblog." Interestingly, this donation funds a Electronic Arts-branded degree: "...the EA Interactive Entertainment Program... a 3-year Master of Fine Arts degree program."

the games program is part of the overall interactive media division at the Cinema School. Currently, there are a number of game projects being developed, but the games lab will be built over the summer, and the track will officially start next semester (Fall 04)
