Got accepted to USC Viterbi’s Computer Science (Game Design) and UCSD’s Interdisc Computing & the Arts (Visual art).
I am still unsure if I am 100% dedicated to game design but I am interested in interactive entertainment and looking for an experience which combines both art/design and computing…
I think you should look closely at the course requirements. Game programming is pretty hardcore as far as computer skills go and I think that will be more technical than that particular UCSD program from the little I know.
