College Major

I've been playing video games for a long time, but just recently got into the design aspect. I am a senior in high school and I am wondering what college major would be best to break into the industry and eventually land a job in design. Thanks!

I'm currently majoring in computer science, which should help me break into the industry along with my portfolio work, and I'm considering working towards a gaming certificate from my university(similar to a minor, but i don't know how many universities offer this)

If you want to program the games, computer science is a good way in.
Moved to Breaking In.
Barefootguy, you should "View Forum FAQ." See tiny link above.
