   How does ETC  work?
  Hi guys, I was looking through one of my old issues of OPM, and it had an article on Game Schools. In it, it had a section on the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon. I went online to see its website, and found that there was not much information. Has anyone here gone there? It says you need an undergraduate degree to enter, but what degree do you get from graduating from ETC? Also, what are the projects they have like, I looked at the ones they have on the website, but none of them were really "games" in the traditional sense.   
  Never heard of it, but CMU is a very respected computer science school.   ;  Well I know that, in fact, it's #22 on Wikipedia's list of top US Universities (*_*), but after my BS in computer science I wanted a more specialized 2nd degree, and I was considering the ETC one but the example projects they had didn't seem very much like, well, games. So I wanted to see if anyone has done the ETC program at CMU to see what they thought of it.   ;  Were you looking at the experiemental game play projects?http://www.etc.cmu.edu/projects/experimentalgameplay/That was a specific program where students had to create a game, solo, with a theme, in 7 days.  There are other classes like this all with themes but basically you are spending your school making games.You are also guaranteed an internship with EA after graduation.  Not that you would want to work at EA, but it's guaranteed nonetheless.  Sounds like a really good, solid program if you are looking for a graduate degree.
