Games and Emerging Media: Overview of the Major (68 credits)
The B.S. in Games and Emerging Media is a brand new major, which focuses on designing, developing and understanding games. There are two concentrations: (1) Technical Development & Programming and (2) Design, Writing, & Culture. All students are welcome – no technical or artistic ability is necessary. The major prepares you for a variety of games-related, software development, mobile, media production, UI/UX, and design-related jobs. Have fun--make games--critique games--play games!
