BS in Game Development
The Bachelor of Science in Game Development is a combination of a Computer Science degree with a minor in mathematics, a second minor of your choice, and a cognate of 5 approved classes from Art, Electronic Media Art Design, and Digital Media Studies. This program provides a strong computer science and technical background, preparing students for all aspects of game programming, while providing them with (I) a foundation in art that includes both appreciation and understanding of the significance of art, with some ability to create art themselves, or (II) a foundation in the critical, technical and design foundations in digital media studies. Thus, graduates of this program are able to help in the programming and development of games, while understanding and being able to communicate effectively with the artists who are part of any game development project.
A minor in Mathematics is required for this degree. In addition, 5 approved allied field classes from Art, EMAD, and DMS to fulfill the cognate are required. These courses can be combined with the 2nd minor of the student's choice. A non-exhaustive list of courses for the cognate can be found at the Game Development Programs website.
