Cool Major of the Month

Game Design

Game design has become an increasingly popular area for career opportunities, and will likely continue to grow as computers, consoles, tablets, and mobile phones improve. In the game design program, students will learn about programming, game design and mechanics, 2D and 3D art and animation, sound, and project management. By the completion of their degree, students will be able to create new worlds with levels, characters, and more. Individuals who enter this career path may have opportunities to create, code, and test games.
