You could try Texas too!

On: University offers degree in game programming.

Just a point here that we have a games programming laboratory and related courses here at the University of North Texas as well. You can't get a degree in games programming -- you'd get a degree in Computer Science. The lab is actually "self-sustaining" by writing and selling games to fund more toys... er... equipment. Since a lot of the big game companies are in this area (Dallas and Austin) a lot of our grads end up at pretty big-name games companies.

The official name for the lab is the "Laboratory for Recreational Computing", and you can check it out at this link.
