Question
My son is interested in this field, Bachelor of Science in Computer Games Development. What schools offer this degree and which ones are the best?

Answer
Greg:

The Field of COmputer Games Development is a great start in the Computer Science field.  I am a very firm believer in 'HANDS ON' learning meaning that the student is given assignments PLUS hands on labs every session of learning.

There are MANY on line degree programs BUT NOT recommended. I strongly recommend a 'in class' teaching environment so that if the student has questions they can ask right away and then move immediately in to a lab environment while the knowledge or lesson is still fresh.

Depending on What State you live in will depend on the 'availability' of Universities that offer this type of Bachelors program.  

Why don't you reply back on the City,State where you reside, OK. In the meantime, I will continue to reseach the top 10 universities that offer this program.  I already have a short list of excellent ones, but depending on your city,state they may or maynot apply.

Kind Regards,
Jeff
