Once again, the number of institutions offering gaming industry-centric courses has seen a significant year-over-year increase. According to a study from the Entertainment Software Association, game design, art and programming courses will be taught in 300 of America’s colleges, universities and trade schools during this academic year.
Unsurprisingly, California plays host to a majority of these institutions with 40 in-state schools offering game programs, with New York and Texas trailing behind with 26 and 21 schools, respectively. We guess that’s why most games take place in cities like Los Angeles, New York City and Fort Worth. (Wait, you’ve never played a video game set in Fort Worth? Dude, you need to get with the program.)
