Online Bachelor's Degrees in Game Software Development

In 2004, retail sales of video games, including software and hardware, reached 9.9 billion dollars in the U.S. Gamers are voracious users of technology, and are always ready for the next new game to entertain them. If you love video games, are creative and technologically adept, you might consider an online bachelor's degree in game software development. Coursework for a degree in game development software covers everything from animation to game prototyping and software testing.

There are many different jobs available in game software development, both technical and creative. For example, engine programmers write the software that makes the game run, artificial intelligence programmers make the characters lifelike, and then there are the artists who work with the graphics programs written by the developers to create the world in which the characters live.

Although the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) doesn't collect data specifically for game software developers, they state the median earnings range for software developers of all types as $62,000 to $73,000. No degree program can guarantee a salary or employment, but because of the special knowledge required, many companies will pay higher salaries for employees with bachelor's degrees.

"I am entirely certain that twenty years from now we will look back at education as it is practiced in most schools today
and wonder that we could have tolerated anything so primitive."
