SWEDISH SCHOOL OFFERS DEGREE IN COMPUTER GAMES



STOCKHOLM, Sweden (Wireless Flash) – Forget reading, writing and ’rithmetic – a school in Sweden is offering degrees in computer gaming. Starting in August, students at Stockholm’s Fryshusets education center will be able to enter a three-year diploma program teaching them how to design and market computer games. The game lovers will take courses in 3D modeling, computer animation and programming to fulfill their degree. Instructor Diego Beloso expects the demand for interactive role-playing games will skyrocket in the next few years, so the students will be well- prepared to score a job upon graduation. Computer gaming isn’t the only unusual area of study at Fryshusets: The school also offers degrees in skateboarding and rock music.
