Report: College Game Programs On The Rise
By Christina Davis
Colleges and universities in the United States will offer 343 programs in video game design, development and programming during the upcoming school year, according to a report from the Entertainment Software Association (ESA).
In terms of number of programs, California is the leader, with 54 higher education institutions offering game-related programs. But the Bay State is no slouch. There are 13 game design programs offered in Massachusetts, two of them at Worcester schools - Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Becker College.
The ESA said video game sales totaled $25.1 billion in 2010 and gaming companies employ more than 120,000 people in 34 states.
