Game design college courses are a grift on a par with ethnic studies. If we talk about mobile/web games - no one needs game designers there, lol, you're better of as a mathematician. If we talk about actual games - this shit cannot be taught the same way you can't have a PhD in writing.

Never doubt the ability of universities to come up with useless degrees.
Those degrees are for someone trying to control a bunch of English Majors, not actually write well.
For some reason I thought this was games "programming." IDK why. Design as in how to design software that serves a game function.
You can have a PhD in English and classical literature, though. It's not a prerequisite, but it can be beneficial.
