The curriculum in the Game Design Master of Science Degree Program is comprised of high-level game design and production courses that take you deep into the game development pipeline. You’ll expand and advance your project and design skills through hands-on exercises in leadership, team management, game design, and marketing while you learn the skills you’ll need to advance your career in the game production industry.
During the course of this Game Design Degree, you will be responsible for completing a design document, an academic capstone project, and a presentation. The Capstone Project is designed to help you develop the project management skills and team management skills you’ll need to succeed in the game development field. In this project you will be paired with a group of undergraduate game programmers and game artists to plan the genre and scope of a fully playable game. You will be acting as a Producer on this project, helping guide the team through the gameplay design, determining technological issues, as well as managing assets and the production timeline.
