<p>Anyone know if this is a degree in Computer science with a minor in gaming or if it will read a degree in Computer Science gaming? On slash.com it sounds like a degree in cs gaming is too specific and will not give you options in the future. I guess the gaming industry is pretty cut throat and they tend to use up people and spit them out for more lower paying new grads. The website slash.com also says the major classes in this gaming major ( although they have many of the CS classes used for a regular BS in CS) is missing some of the higher math and physics you would need to succeed in the CS industry if you decided to change as most do after starting in the industry. Any help appreciated. Trying to decide on UCSD, U of Washington or USC.</p>
<p>anyone? have any experience with this</p>
<p>I'm not in the cs games but I know a bit about it...it is missing a few of the heavy math+physics courses needed for the vanilla CS major, which is a bit disappointing. You can always take those if you want, though, as electives :)</p>
<p>Alternatively, you could get the vanilla CS major and take a few gaming courses as electives, or maybe do a video gaming minor.</p>
<p>I think the title of the degree is "BS Computer Science (Games)", whereas a minor is only listed on your academic transcript and not your diploma</p>
<p>it's not that many courses missing anyways, though some might consider them important (2 semesters of calc, one of linear algebra, and one of physics required, as opposed to 3 semesters of calc, 2 of physics, and 1 of linear algebra for regular CS)</p>
<p>I appreciate your input. Do you have any friends in the major that we could talk with? Or do you know anyone in the cs business major?</p>
