A college-degree career in video game design has been becoming more and more prominent. The Entertainment Software Association has calculated a 20% year over year increase in college design programs since the turn of the century. Over 300 schools now offer Video Game design majors, California being the most prominent with 40 (New York at 2nd with 26, Texas at 3rd with 21).

“The steady increase in higher education programs is an important indicator about the expanding role computer and video games play in today’s world,” says Rich Taylor, ESA senior VP for communications and industry affairs.
