Last week we ran a story from the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) [URL=http://gamepolitics.com/2010/08/16/esa-number-schools-offering-game-related-degrees-skyrockets]in which it discussed the growth of game-related degrees[/URL] offered in U.S. schools and universities. One of eight states tagged as not offering such degrees, however, took a little onus with its exclusion.

In a list of schools offering videogame-related degrees [URL=http://www.theesa.com/gamesindailylife/schools.asp]on the ESA website[/URL], eight states are missing—Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Maine, Mississippi, West Virginia and Wyoming. Arkansas officials took time out to argue their case [URL=http://www.thecitywire.com/index.php?q=node/11406]in a piece running on the City Wire[/URL], stating that the ESA’s report “does not accurately reflect ongoing efforts to provide video gaming degree options to incoming students.”
