Edumacated Game Designers
by Steve Gibson, Apr 07, 2001 2:20pm PDTHere's an interesting article looking at DigiPen, the nations only institute dedicated to teaching people how to make games. The first 5 graduates had their ceremony recently (out of an initial class of 30, 25 dropped... sounds like game developers to me! :P) It's a pretty impressive list of developers who have hired from there:
Many other DigiPen alumnae from its two- and four-year programs have also secured positions with such reputable game makers as Interplay, DreamWorks Interactive, Konami, Electronic Arts, and Iguana EntertainmentAlso recently a college on the east coast (Damn I forget which one) announced that they are offering degrees in game design. There have been a number of classes offered at colleges as electives but I believe that one is the first to offer actual college degrees.
