I wonder if there's a school that will teach you how to make virtual reality games

I'm thinking this could be one of the most interesting career paths imaginable. But is it too new to be able to go to school for it you think?
I wonder if it is even that different from making normal video games? If its mostly coding, which I now realize would make sense, then I suppose the path would be to learn programming.
At the same time, it would be nice to be able to experiment with the hardware as well, but that's probably a whole different set of education/specialization. I wouldn't be into that side as much, I want to tinker with the worlds more than the gear.
I dunno, what do the pubbers think?
Imagine having complete creative control over a virtual environment...
My dream project at this moment in time would be cyberspace art mediums.

people wont live in reality anymore. its been proven that males who spend more than 3 hours a day playing video games have poor emotional control and are less capable of dealing with life. Give them virtual reality and there's no reason to live anymore.
Oh well. I'll be happy with them walled up in their houses and off the streets and out of nature. They wont procreate either. Bonus. More room for me

Unreal Engine 4 schools you for VR.
Completely free, initiative is all you need.

They have released the whole engine for free, all the blueprints, every single file and all files are shared through the community and anything you create can be put on the market and they only take a percentage (looking at mods, models, maps, think DOTA2/CSGO style)
All the learning is online.
https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/
Have fun. Video tutorials too.

very cool. 
And you were saying this would educate me in things that would likely be used in VR creation?

To give you another taste.

Community plugin featuring VR integration.
Featuring passthrough capability, new collision assets, and out-of-the-box Oculus Rift VR/AR support, getnamo’s plugin exposes the entire Leap Motion API to Unreal’s Blueprint system. Oculus Rift VR/AR support is easily accessible, as the plugin handles all the necessary transforms. Your demo can even detect when an Oculus Rift is active and the demo is fullscreen, which triggers VR mode.
Yes, hardware may be an issue but nontheless you can get started and let people who have hardware test your stuff .
I mean c'mon don't you want to have a rigged character from the start 

Or get really good with the engine, make a name for yourself as developer
And look into Vive VR developer kits now going out to studios, Valve says!
 ->the virtual reality system it's developing with HTC

Go to community college for computer science and figure out what you want to do after that. It's not very expensive and is usually at least a decent education. Most for profit universities are a rip off.

I started with codeacademy
Python and C seemed like a great way to start.
