<p>From what I’ve seen, you don’t become a game designer by getting a degree. You specialize in something else (programming, animation, etc.) until you’re promoted into it or build up enough $$$ to have a stake in a project. It’s a prestige position.</p>

<p>There are a few things you can major in (specialize in) to get into game designing - seeing how so many different components go into the actual creation and production of the game. </p>

<ol>
<li><p>Programming. If you are good with computer languages and high level math then you can consider programming the games</p></li>
<li><p>Art. All games need all kinds of art ranging from concept art to 3D Modeling to little things like lighting and rendering. </p></li>
<li><p>Management/Production/all the technical stuff. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>There are plenty of other little things you can get into but if you want to be part of the actual game creation you want to be an artist or a programmer.</p>
