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.

  1. Get a _real_ degree dammit! by El_Ge_Ex · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Yes, now you too can earn a worthless degree in a narrow field working countless hours getting no sleep. For your first job you say? NO! That's just for your demo reel!"

    These degrees are for people to have no motivation to learn on their own time, which by the way is something every game campany looks for.

    You want to be an artist? Get an art degree. Programmer? Comp Sci. Designer? English, Business, or Management are good fields.

    Don't be a fool, GET YOUR DAMN SCHOOL!
