With a focus on making and praxis, the BS in Games Simulation prepares students for a career or graduate study in game design, development, 3D modeling, creative development, writing or designing, esports, and games in other industries, all while encouraging students to take creative risks, to build things, and to think critically about audiences, narratives, and aesthetics. In this program, you’ll have intensive professional training in creating and interpreting games with expert faculty. Areas of focus include game art, game design, and game development.
