..I’d love to see the University of Cincinnati establish something similar. And I want to work there. 😉

    Very excited about this development. My son is a Junior in High School in Orange County and is very interested in earning a degree in Computer Games/Virtual World. We will be following your progress closely and would appreciate any advice you may have on admission requirements.
