Computer Science Degree - How do I make it game design/programming related?

I'm wondering how I would make a computer science degree (Bachelors or Masters) related to game development. I often hear people say how a computer science degree is way more worth your money (And cheaper, looking at DigiPen/Full Sail) I live in Des Moines, so I have a handful of colleges/universities around me. One of the major ones I am looking at is Iowa State, which has a very impressive Computer Science program. I'd probably take the first 2 years at a local community college, named DMACC. After bombing my first year there, I have 3 classes I have to retake. Two different majors both semesters. Criminal Justice and a Entrepreneurship program. 1-What classes/programs (I saw the FAQ of courses to look at, but it was very vague, and covered pretty much every course) 2-Should I consider a double major or minor? If so, which ones? TL:DR - What classes and things should I look for if I want to get a BS in Computer Science?
