Devry: Game & Simulation Programming

Absolutely.

thanks for the reply, so far i have been getting mixed opinions about it
from what i've read the quality of education that u get out of devry is
great. some people say that they had a hard time getting a job after
graduating and others say they know people who were able to get a job
before they were even out of school. i know the program is relatively
new so its hard to say whats going to happen if u get a degree from them.
i'm going to call and ask for the percentage of students who are employed
within a year after graduating and take it from there

if anyone else has any comments please feel free to post cause i'm very
eager to get started, i just dont want to start in the wrong place and
regret it later

If there is a process for acquiring the skills and knowlegde necessary to participate in an industry, and then another organization advertises a "short cut," why would any employer want the product of the short cut?

The "game programming" programs purport to teach you everything you'll need. That is a blatant lie. You will do better with a program that teaches you to learn. Don't go to DeVry.

Keep that in mind before you decide to go to devry. Regular universities will teach you everything you need to know about game programming (though not from that perspective). If you're really serious about getting a job in the gaming industry, EA gets interns from most of the nationally ranked schools in the USA. I know they recruit from Georgia Tech, Univ. Mich., UC Berkley, and MIT. Those schools are hard to get into, but its probably worth it if you know game development is what you want to do.
