Next summer I will graduate with a BSc. in Computer Science and I was trying to figure out where to go from there. One Idea was to do a 2nd degree in video game design. Need some advice as in:

1) Good schools that offer a worthwile degree in Game Design?
2) Should I go for a Masters in Game Design or a 2nd undergrad degree(assoc or BSc.)?

Sorry for the SUPER late post.

In all honesty it is experience rather than degrees that get you a job. In other words, start making games from now! However a bachelors/masters does help. You should also know the difference in game DESIGN and game DEVELOPMENT...Development is programming, design is scripting/art etc..usually conceptualizing and much more creative oriented.

I did my bachelors in game design at ITT (which doesnt offer it any more) and my Masters in game design (which is essentially game PRODUCTION) at FulL Sail. If you want something involving coding and a bachelors look no further than FUll Sail, hands down this univeristy is the BOMB. Its expensive, but well worth it.
