As an incoming undergraduate freshmen, I’m really interested in game design. While reading Extra Lives by Tom Bissell, I realized that games are really at a precipice in terms of their evolution as an art form. I’d like to one day work to create meaningful games that will bend our understanding of what a video game is.

Can anyone recommend a good major to investigate for this purpose? I’m not necessarily looking only at computer programming, but possibly becoming involved from a visual/audio design standpoint as well!
