Here's a specialized online degree sure to appeal to young designers - the Art Institute Online is offering an online Bachelor of Arts degree in Game Art and Design. This is how they describe their game program:

"You will strengthen your basic art and design skills, and then you'll learn how to design game play and background, create characters and their environments, and apply your knowledge of video and computer games to evaluate game products. You will also learn to plan the game environment and determine choices for characters."

Consider some of the latest video game hits - World of Warcraft, Guitar Hero, Halo...Computer and video games sure aren't going anywhere. For artistically-talented gamers, a degree like this just may open the door to a dream job.
