It's rare that an industry comes along that experiences as phenomenal growth as the video game industry. This booming industry is growing at a pace that is on track to be a multi-billion dollar industry again this year - more than annual box office receipts in the US!
California is the primary location for the majority of video game companies and already employs thousands in this exciting industry. And unlike other creative fields like film and television, there aren't thousands of new candidates to meet the growing demand that each year brings. As a result, video game production and design is a highly desirable field for students to consider.
When you consider studies in this field, you might want to think about the type of role you'd like in a video game company: designer, programmer or developer, or even a producer on a larger scale project. Keep these goals in mind as you explore video game programs at your potential schools so you can find a program that meets your needs.
