Program Description
Program Overview
The Digital Design – Game Design one-year graduate certificate is a rigorous program where you'll learn the principles and techniques of video game design and production so you can break into the industry.
Full Description
Video games have become one of the leading forms of artistic expression in the twenty-first century. In the Digital Design – Game Design one-year graduate certificate program, you'll develop your production and design skills through courses like design documentation, milestone and pipeline scheduling, game design theory, and psychology.
Taught by faculty with industry experience and mentored by local game industry leaders, you'll learn how to design and develop games, not only for the entertainment market, but also for serious gaming applications in health, education, construction, marketing, and other sectors. You'll even get the unique opportunity to develop commercial quality games in a simulated video game studio environment, at times working with industry partners, game artists, and programmers.
This program will prepare you to work in the game industry once you graduate. Before graduation, you'll have a portfolio/demo of your creative work that shows off your abilities in game design and highlights your area of specialty.
