EA and USC merge (Not really)

[Sharpieman]

Has anyone heard about EA giving $8 Million to USC, thats Southern Cal to create a new masters degree for gaming?
I can't find any links but it happened. I guess EA is just going have its own little pool to dip into now for new talent.

Two of the course classes:
"Over promise, under deliver - the EA way"
"Build cheap, Sell More Add on Modules"

I wish I was back at USC just to take an elective or two in that field.

And.....

I'm getting ready to go to school at full sail for game design myself :).

Switching careers from custom software development to game development, and am very very excited about it.
