Merge artistic game design with crucial technical expertise. This program is perfect if you aim to develop innovative games and bring your visionary concepts to growing gaming markets, platforms, and environments. You'll study design, illustration, character development, animation, and narrative techniques, alongside programming and digital production. On campus, you'll have access to personal studio spaces within a dynamic, creative setting that replicates the teamwork found in game studios and creative sectors. You'll master design-thinking approaches to craft original games, then refine them through research-driven experimentation, prototyping, and user feedback. The curriculum spans all gaming formats, from digital (video) games to AR/VR development, plus physical products like location-based games, tabletop games, and escape rooms. You'll also delve into purposeful and serious gaming, examining how games can drive social change and cultural relevance.
