Game development is an exciting multidisciplinary field that requires intense creativity, professional discipline, and strong collaborative production skills. Students in the Game Design major take a wide variety of engaging courses that help them develop a deep understanding of the aesthetics, tools, skills, process, theory, and culture of games that inform their work and encourages them to develop and produce new and original ideas.

Students in the Game Design major complete the Interactive Arts and Media core and the Game Design courses that accentuate the cultural aspects of game design, game design theory, and concept development. Students select one of two concentrations in either Game Development or Sound Design, providing the depth of specialization that the game industry demands. Students seeking to be game programmers should investigate our Game Programming degrees and students seeking to be game artists should investigate our Game Art degree.
