Currently I am about to start my first year of college (tomorrow actually) and in 2 years should have my CIS acc. My question is does anyone know of what school I should transfer to after that to continue my education into gaming programming (I'm Located in northern Illinois)? If their is some sort of search engine anyone knows of that would be awesome ^^

Xorn,
A few years ago I would have said: None.
But that has certainly changed.

Off the top of my head I would say Univ of Penn; but that might be a graduate program.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Newyork is another.

You might want to try googling Game Theory, Game Mathematics Undergraduate programs...

never mind I just did: Univ of Ill - Urbana-Champaign.

Top school, in state tuition.

You might want to check that out. If nothing else, even if you can land a job doing game programming, you cant go wrong with getting your degree from there.

Thanks alot man ^^

Full Sail in Florida has a game development major. I've had several friends come out of their program and go to work for major companies.

I have heard of Full Sail.

If they have a good integration with industry it might be a good option, but I dont know much about them.

Sometimes, a university's tight integration with industry is more important then the education you receive. As a manager I really hate to admit that.

My alma mater Univ of Fl. is a good example. The undergrad engineering program is understaffed and classes are extremely large. So my education there was average.
But the engineering department was EXTREMELY tight with industry. Before I graduated I had 6 job offers and I accepted a position 10 months before I graduated.

When considering a school I would ask the career resource center or the department you are interested in for a list of employed alumni.
Schools LOVE to brag about the jobs their graduates received. If they are hesitant about providing that data, that raises a huge red flag.

Good luck in your search and keep us updated!
