Transfer Information

After you complete the two-year A.A. degree in Computer Gaming and Simulation at Montgomery College, you will probably want to transfer to a four-year school to complete a four-year degree. Many schools offer gaming programs. See gamasutra.com/education for a list of schools.

Some local universities are listed below.
Make sure to research possible transfer scholarships!
