Game and Interactive Media Design

Interactive media designers generally work on games, web pages, and mobile apps. They may need to learn HTML5 and CSS3. Finding a college or university with an esports program is one option that allows students to participate in competitive gaming while earning their degree.  

There's never been a better time to major in video game design. The global esports market is growing rapidly. It was valued at $1.22 billion in 2021 but is projected to reach $5.48 billion by 2029. This points to a highly favorable career outlook.
