Champlain College Offers Degree in Computer Game Design

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the get-your-learn-on dept.

sp00 writes "Computer-game-loving teens and industry professionals take note: a new Electronic Game and Interactive Development degree at Champlain College in Vermont has been unveiled. The career-oriented college will offer a bachelor's degree in this field starting in the fall, and it's the first degree of its kind in the region." While academic programs for game development aren't new, they're still far from being a standard course offering. It's cool to see that they're catching on.

    For those looking for other programs, the Art Institute offers a Bachelor of Science in Game Art & Design. Full Sail, in Florida, also offers a BS program.

      Be careful. Full sail is known to be an expensive rip-off of about the same caliber as ITT. Just search for "full sail sucks" on Google and you will see that they shut down a few websites that exposed them.
