Im really interested in game simulation, programming, design, etc. Any study would be fine, as long as it still relates to gaming. Im searching the web like mad for colleges in New york that provides Game programming and simulation courses. Im looking for courses that allows me to get a B.A.

Answer 1 :
you might end up in a 'game design' program that was tossed together hastily, if you end up at one of the for-profit schools. you will end up with a BS or a BFA most likely, not a BA. This is one of those fields that seems sexy and exciting, but usually when I question young people interested in it, they cannot tell me where the jobs are, or what is the biggest potential market sector that will use games. They all know Warcraft, and all the other FPS hack and slash games, and think that that is the extent of game design. and dont misunderstand, it will be a huge field, but you will take English, history, and a bunch of other 'unrelated' courses. you need excellent critical reasoning skills, math, and familiarity with art and even physics to be a good overall game designer. good luck, but I dont think that there are too many good game design programs in NY state.
