I thought I'd post this for people interested in the technical aspects of game design. McMaster University recently announced a new program for a Bachelor's of Software Engineering and Game Design, which will allow students to get a quality education in the engineering fundamentals of multimedia programs as well as the gaming side.
Those interested should go here:

Incidentally, we also now have an Electrical Engineering and Biomedical programme to.

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Too bad I'm already doing Software Engineering in Uni of Sydney, and loving it. And US is too far for me D:
Well, good luck to those already in US and trying to make it to a uni! Game designing/programming/etc etc is really fun!
