Oh to do collection development for this program! If anyone from RSU reads this I would love to see a list of books you plan to acquire to help support this program. And if you need suggestions give a holler there's some great books out there on the history of Game Development.

Claremore Progress - RSU to offer bachelor?s degree in Game Development: "A new bachelor's degree at Rogers State University will capitalize on the popularity of computer video games, respond to the rapidly changing job market for information technology professionals and contribute to the Oklahoma economy through an emerging industry -- the development of animated video and business simulation games.

The new degree -- a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Game Development -- will be the first of its kind in Oklahoma. The unique program was approved recently by the Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma, the governing board for RSU, at its meeting in Norman.

"This is truly a cutting-edge program, both nationally and in Oklahoma, that is ideally structured to respond to students' interests," said RSU President Dr. Joe Wiley. "The degree also recognizes the shift in demand for computer programmers toward the creation of educational, entertaining and marketable products." "
