Looks like the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) will have to update its list of U.S. colleges and universities offering videogame courses and degrees, as Rasmussen College is about to become the latest institute of higher learning to offer game-related curriculums.
This October will see Rasmussen offer Bachelor’s degree programs in Game & Simulation Programming and Digital Design & Animation at 14 campuses in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Florida, as well as online.
The college’s National Director of Career Development Tamryn Hennessy, speaking about the Digital Design & Animation degree, stated, “Our Bachelor’s program was specifically designed for students interested in employment within the industry and offers resources that will allow them to enter the job search process with a professional digital design portfolio, putting them a step ahead of the competition.”
As part of this expansion, which operates under its School of Technology and Design, Rasmussen is also opening an 11,000 square foot Technology and Design center facility at its Brooklyn Park, Minnesota location.

Conster: My phone may have the possibility of an internet connection, but I consider that inferior to it having a radio functionality, allowing me to listen to songs, and record them, for free. Internet is overrated sometimes.06/17/2013 - 1:48pm

E. Zachary Knight: Nolan Bushnell talks about learning through games. Great interview with Reason TV.06/17/2013 - 12:04pm

E. Zachary Knight: That would be neat, but I am thinking more of case mods that still show off the real size of the Ouya. I will have to see what else is out there. The 2600 Joystick may work, but I don't have one to check.06/17/2013 - 12:03pm

Imautobot: Or how about an old Atari 2600 casing?06/17/2013 - 11:57am
|
Imautobot: Why not just put the thing in a old SNES/N64 console housing? I know it would be much bigger, but it's still Nostalgic.06/17/2013 - 11:55am
|
E. Zachary Knight: But if it is going to run too hot and fry, it wouldn't be worth it. I guess I will have to think of something else.06/17/2013 - 11:23am
|
E. Zachary Knight: That is why I wanted to check before attemping it. I had hoped that I could fit it inside a cartidge for an old school system like the SNES or N64.06/17/2013 - 11:22am

Imautobot: EZK, I noticed that thing puts out some serious heat, without the fan I doubt it would run long.06/17/2013 - 11:09am

E. Zachary Knight: According to Ouya Support, it is not recommended to remove the fan. I want to do a case mod, but if I can't remove the fan, that puts a wrinkle in it.06/17/2013 - 10:29am

Imautobot: I'll be keeping my 360, but I don't play online enough to justify keeping XBL. Besides, I'll likely direct those funds to the Playstation Plus Service.06/17/2013 - 9:39am

PHX Corp: @Imautobot, I'll still support the xbox 360, just not the xbox one. but I'll be thinking about preordering the PS4 for myself06/17/2013 - 7:57am

Imautobot: I pre-ordered my PS4 over the weekend. Oh, and I canceled the auto-renew on my XBL account. That means I've officially jumped the Xbox ship.06/17/2013 - 7:28am
