programmer for virtual reality games

I am 18 years old, I am a in the last year of my high school in India. I want to be a game programmer (I am particularly interested in virtual reality games). I had had a query regarding education.
I have got admission in UL Lafayette for its computer science course. It also offers a concentration in gaming which is of 3 credit hours. So is this course(BSc computer science) good for me or I should get an engineering degree or some degree specific in computer gaming. I will also do post graduation, so if any one has any suggestions for that then please give me.
Another query i had was whether the Bsc computer science course would teach me about game engines.
