Program Overview

Our Game Development curriculum is designed to give you the programming skills and game theory needed to excel in the world of game development. During the beginning of the program, you’ll be developing a foundation of programming skills and improving your grasp of the design concepts used to create content. You’ll learn the details of a game development cycle, from preproduction to finished product, and begin to create simple games that will help to develop your programming and design skills.

Then you’ll move into more complex and detailed tasks in courses like Advanced Tools Programming, DirectX, OpenGL, Machine Architecture, and Optimization and Software Architecture. Finally, you’ll focus all those skills on your final group project – a complete playable game that you design, develop, and produce from start to finish. It’s all part of a complete game development education that will get you ready to face the demands of the professional game world.

The program will also teach you general career development skills in communication, personal finance, presentation, English composition, ethics, and how to prepare yourself for your first step into the game industry. To help you make that transition, we’ve got a team of Career Development professionals that will help you polish your interviewing skills and resume and get you ready to enter the industry. In addition, our Career Development services and advisors will be available for support and assistance throughout your career – not just during your education.
