Devry University Online--Yes or No?

[johnnyhotrod]

I am looking to attend Devry University online to study Game Design and Programming. I would like to ask for opinions on this. Should I go for it? Are online schools good for this degree? What are good schools for game design?

Any help would be grateful. I am talking to my advisor again on Friday.

Thanks
Johnny

Not being a huge fan of online classes (I just think you miss out on a lot of the peer-to-peer learning and the classroom interaction), I'd still be wary of Devry's class in this field. I'd be asking who wrote the curriculum? Is it an industry professional? Who's going to be looking at your work and critiquing it? Better yet, I'd want to know who's attended this program and what they got out of it- would the school be willing to let you contact previous students of this program to ask them their opinions? Have you seen any of the work produced in this class?

These are all questions I would ask before I plunk down any cash for this class. If they can't provide adequate answers to you, then ditch 'em.
