<p>My son is interested in this major but I was concerned that it would be too narrow and limiting. However, he really does not have much interest in straight out CS. RIT offers a BS in Game Design and Development. The catalog says the major also “provides students with a core computing education that prepares them for graduate study or employment in a number of computing fields”. However, George Mason Univ. offers a BS in Applied Computer Science with a concentration in Computer Game Design. I’m not sure how comfortable I feel having a resume that states BS in Game Design and Development, as compared to a resume that says BS in Applied Computer Science with a concentration in Computer Game Design. I think the latter may be better. I’ve been wondering about the job market, as well. I believe these programs do teach what is needed for game design. I can’t really comment on the usefulness of pursuing a masters degree. </p>
