University

Hello. I''m a high school student who is in the process of applying to universities at the moment, and I have a question I hope you guys could help me with. One of my future goals is to work in the games industry, and I was wondering if it would be better to have a Computer Science degree or a Software Engineering degree to achieve this. I realize the problem is more complicated than one or the other, but I was just wondering what people''s general opinions on the subject were.
Thanx.
I would say that it depends more on the curriculum than the name of the degree.
Check each program out, take the option that provides the most hands on programming classes and less theoretical stuff.

why not a Game Programming degree? Several universitys are now offering them at BachelorSc AND MasterSc level!

Isnt the Game Programming University in Canada? I think there are 2 campuses(dont take my word on it), one i think is in canada and the other in Japan.
Well I'm getting my Bachelors of Science Degree in Computer Engineering this summer. And my thesis will be making a particle engine for a Computer Game Company.
Computer Engineering - programming
Software Engineering - designing
Does that help? :D
