<p>“Gaming? Ha! Not so fast. The same disciplines used for creating vide games are now being used in medical, military, social, media, design, etc. - pretty neat way to evolve toward future needs.”</p>
<p>From all I have read, to go into gaming, you are better off with a straight Comp Sci degree than a game design degree. Plus its a lot more flexible. I say that, with DD going off to RPI which has a gaming and simulation degree. But its also got a rock solid reputation in engineering and architecture etc, so I will forgive them the gimmick major. </p>
<p>At a school that sounds so gimmicky in so many ways, I would be more wary. Its not that any one of their innovations/gimmicks couldn’t be argued for. From what I can gather reading here (and that is my sole source on this) its kind of the whole gestalt. </p>
<p>A PR guy could be a great college prez. Having fancy dining halls to teach manners could make sense. A college with a PR guy as prez that has fancy dining halls to teach manners - well I smell an agenda. A particular vision of education. Not one that makes me comfortable. But then I am an old fogie. Every choice is invididual.</p>
