Good college majors for game design?

Asked by BarefootChris (118points) August 4th, 2010

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!
