These game design majors should make multiple art history classes a requirement. I watch my sons playing games set in the past and they totally mix up centuries with costumes being from one time period and architecture from another. The inaccuracy really bugs me.

There is a difference between game design and true development. Can your kid code? Are they good at calculus?

More supply of would be game developers than demand. One will need very good results to find a job in game decelopment after graduation.

It is competitive to get into the program at most of these, but some don't require you to declare a major right away.
I would add Northeastern

DD went through the Game Design major (and Japanese minor) at GMU and was hired before graduation from Bethesda Softworks, which was taken over by Microsoft. She has now been a fully invested employee of Microsoft for five years and has let many GMU Game design majors to employment with her and received many cash awards for doing so. She gets her five year pin this fall.

Full Sail University is for-profit and stupid expensive, but it's a good safety school for game design. Not what you asked, but I figured I'd throw it out there.

Major itself is not competitive except for a few programs such as the one at USC SCA.
The field is very competitive.

It’s competitive. I believe UC Santa Cruz is one of the top schools.
