What collage classes would you take to get into gaming art and design?

im trying to figure out what classes you would need to take to get into gaming art and designWhat collage classes would you take to get into gaming art and design?
Personally I'd go for courses related to digital modelling, any art classes will only tone your skills, maybe even a little programming.

Also search for small software houses and new media companies in your area and see if any of them offer any training schemes or will be willing to offer any advice. You may hit a wall with some of them but you'd be surprised how helpful some can be.

The likes of facebook and twitter may also be advantageous, look for people who work in similar roles for companies that you know make games and send them a quick message.

There is a little package called Maya, that I know is used by some in the industry. They do a personal learning edition you can download a free version of, (a quick google search should uncover it for you). Other companies may have their own packages but this will give you a little experience while you search.

All the best!
