Formalizing The Education Of Gaming
The years have been good to the business of gaming. It’s been a billion-dollar industry for quite some time now and it is showing no signs of stopping. Sure, it had a few controversial moments, but they weren’t enough to halt the momentum. Now, educational institutions are opening the door even further. They are now setting up classes and courses dedicated to the study and learning of video games.
Game design has helped rekindle interest in computer science and become a hot new major at more than 200 schools across the country, according to the Entertainment Software Assn., a trade group. Because making games crosses several disciplines, the diversity of programs that offer such courses is staggering: Fine arts colleges, engineering schools, film schools, music schools and even drama programs are sending graduates into the fast-growing industry.
As a gamer, are you considering making the transition from hobby to profession? Look up a college near you and check if there are any courses available to this relatively new field.
