2019-2020

CIP 500411 (GAM)

The Game Design and Development degree is a two-year Associate of Applied Science program that prepares students to work
as a game developer or computer programmer.

There are three types of courses students will focus on in the degree: general computer science classes ensure every student
has a solid programming background applicable to any development position, game development classes make certain
students know how to apply their programming skill to create engaging games using an industry standard game engine, and art
and multimedia courses provide the creative background necessary for students to effectively integrate with the diverse teams
that work on modern games. Electives allow a student to customize their degree with additional classes in a chosen area of
focus.
