Second, George Mason...
... is a university in Fairfax, VA, that offers a Game Design major.
Officially, at Mason, it is called the Computer Game Design Program. In this program, students study both the sciences and the arts, in a revolving-role team-based, project-based teaching environment. It hosts a B.F.A. undergraduate degree, a graduate M.A. degree, and several minors and partnerships. Mason also hosts the U.S. Serious Game Institute, which concentrates on game-related applied research and new innovative game company cultivation.
The B.F.A. in Computer Game Design requires 120 credits and includes general education courses. The curriculum comes from computer science, visual arts, digital arts, computer music, and a new game design area of study. There is also a required internship. This degree prepares students for computer game design and development field employment.
George Mason also has a pep band with cymbals, a Tae Kwon Do Club, and a small, personal and beautiful campus. I visited GMU and the computer labs were full of different kinds of computers--a dream for a nerd-- and a whole art building and nice facility full of inspiration. It is also in the top 100 colleges for game design. I applied to George Mason already and it is currently my third choice.

Also, I'd like to include GMU's stated mission through having the Computer Game Design Program and a video where GMU students talk about their experience.
Mission: The Mission of the Computer Game Design Program at George Mason University is to prepare students for employment and further study in the computer game design and development field, doing so with a curriculum designed to reflect the gaming industry’s demand for an academically rigorous technical program coupled with an understanding of the artistic and creative elements of the evolving field of study.
