So I want to be a video game designer and plan on taking a Masters degree in Game Design( Video Game Design) So I need to take a Bachelors degree before a Masters so what should I major in as an undergraduate before I take Game Design for a Masters degree
The first step would probably be to find some Master’s programs that are of interest and look at the requirements they have for admissions (specific majors or coursework) if you already know of some.
Most likely you’d want to look at a Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Computer Programming, or Graphic Design as those would feature coursework related to game design and be some strong choices in terms of preparing you for advanced study in the area.
There are lots of colleges where you could get a bachelors in Game Design as well and then go somewhere else to further refine your skills with a masters. I’m not going to do your homework for you, but a google search will turn up a slew of results.
I would try Graphic Design, Web Page Design, and other computer-based courses. They would be very helpful in Game design, and even if you can’t become a game designer, you can still make great money in these. (Graphic designers make things like company logos at about $5,000 apiece. THAT is good money!)
