are UCI and UCSC the only school that offer computer game science?

<p>In california that is and not counting USC since it a private school.</p>

<p>Yes.
And one more thing, this is from someone who is on this board for a long time, maybe ucbalumnus or sth, he said that game companies do accept applicants with a CS degree, so having these means you have a better chance of finding a job, instead of limiting yourself into CSGD. I’ve been thinking abt it (I love CSGD too :smiley: ) and yeah, it seems plausible ;)</p>

<p>yah i’m considering CS or CGS doesn’t really matter to me since the classes are almost similiar. I did like introduction tour i got last year when i went to open house for CGS @ UCI and the weekly competition they have with the students. =( I do wish that the CGS degree would work with other places too since they cover the same material as CS.</p>

<p>Just do regular CS, but add CS electives in graphics, user interfaces, and artificial intelligence, and non-CS electives in art, literature, animation and the like.</p>

<p>Better to be ready for any CS job (with a regular CS degree) including game jobs, rather than be limited to game jobs which are only a small subset of CS jobs.</p>
