<p>Hello all,
I was just applying to Northeastern as an undergraduate, and I was just deciding my majors. I really like their "computer science and game design" major under the college of Computer and Information Sciences... But if you graduate with that major, what BS do you get? Like a BS in comp sci AND a BS in game design? Or a combined BS in "comp sci and game design"?</p>

<p>Sorry if this is confusing... The website "<a href="http://www.northeastern.edu/camd/gamedesign/academic-programs/bs-in-computer-science-and-game-design/"&gt;http://www.northeastern.edu/camd/gamedesign/academic-programs/bs-in-computer-science-and-game-design/&lt;/a&gt;" makes it seem like you get a "BS in comp sci and game design".</p>

<p>I think I prefer a BS in comp sci only like USC's comp sci and games major.</p>

<p>Also would video game companies like to see a BS in comp sci only or a BS in cs/games?</p>

<p>The CS/game design is a dual major, meaning it’s a single combined program, as opposed to being two completely separate degrees. You can actually see all the requirements of the program on page 94 of the course catalog:
