Earning a degree in game programming and development should be
considered by individuals who have a passion for gaming, and learning
how games are created. Courses involved in these type of degrees usually
include gameplay design, 3D graphics, stereoscopic computer graphics,
contemporary video game platforms, multiplayer game design, and game
physics. Having a computer that can handle the necessary components
involved in video game design and development would also be very
helpful. The following list includes some of the top schools where
