Seriously stay the fock away from any of these FOR PROFIT education establishments. Do some research and see how the Fed's have been cracking down on them. They are falsfying their grad rates, placement rates, and everythign else.
Get to a normal college and do the 4yr plan, most companies LAUGH at these programs offered by these type of schools and know their training is way below that of a 4yr institution.
Call some prospective companies you would like to work with, companies like Take Two, EA, Sega. Call and talk to their Recruting/hiring rep and ask them where they recruit their employees from.
Call a headhunter who specializes in gamin and find out if students from your school ever get placed.
Do your homework before you ever step foot in. These schools are notoriously bad and their used car-salesman like tactics to get you to sign while they get you student loans is ridiculous. These guys make commission, normal 4yr schools do not base their acceptance on your ability to pay!
where in the hell did you get this from? I've never heard anything bad about these schools from anyone. A game design program is not even offered at any 4 year universities in this state. While I have experienced them trying to get me to sign my life away on student loans (I have yet to do so) I hardly believe that this school is considered a joke.
I prefer the 2.5 year degree program (I have already been in school for 3 years) and I certainly believe that I will have enough knowledge within those 2.5 years to have a successful career.
IMO you will learn much more once you enter into the field anyway.
So we will see but the chances of me turning back over reports like this (which may not even be specific to my school) are slim.
