Got game?

If all the world’s a stage, then video gaming is its most action-packed, cutting-edge arena. Acquire the tools you’ll need to express your creativity through interactive entertainment – as a game designer, game producer or quality assurance specialist. Through this interdisciplinary academic program between the Information Technology Program (ITP) and the School of Cinema/TV, you’ll be taught the basics of successful video game development, including the underlying principles behind game design and the framework for producing or project managing games. By the completion of the minor, you’ll be able to build your own game treatment and showcase it to an industry audience.
