What college and courses should i take for game design?

Q. I'm wondering what college i should go to for game design and what courses i should take. I specifically want to go into the programming aspect of game design. Not sure what the difference between undergrad and grad is, so which would probably be better and why.
I want to study in the US. Preferably in colleges in texas, but if there are better colleges in other states, i wouldnt mind. And i do plan on working on some games, maybe become a indie developer, throughout my education so maybe i can get an upperhand on other folks who are going into the same career as me.
Also is it better for me to pursue a undergrad or grad degree is what i meant earlier.

A. If you want to study in UK there's a course called game designing so you could look up for that... I'm not sure if you can take that course somewhere else beside UK, but if you can't just go and study computer science and while studying work on your own projects ... For instance, I want to be a game developer some day... At the moment I'm in highschool and I'm studying Economics, I have a few programs on my laptop such as unity and blender and I give myself a tasks every now and then just to get a feel of it ... Eventually I'll know much more things than someone who attended school which studies that subjecsts because I'm constantly looking for something and on the way of looking I'm seeing and learning other things too, on the other hand, kids on college which study game development will maybe know less because "their profesor didn't show them that"...
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is:
Study CS, work on your own and you'll succeed


Would Game Design be a concentration of a Computer Science major?
Q. I'm filling out college applications and I was wondering what exactly a concentration is, and what would be one in a computer science major. Hopefully game design because that is what i really want to learn.

A. You could major in computer science at first and then later transfer to a more advanced program where you can major in game design or advanced video game graphing, etc. It really does depend on the school.
