The program has its technical roots in the computing and information science disciplines, while simultaneously covering the breadth of the game development field through course work in topics such as computer graphics, game engines, interactive narrative, and game design.
The degree is specifically for students who aspire to careers within the professional gaming industry or a related field such as simulation, edutainment, or visualization.
This is a two-year, on-campus, cohort-based program in which students are admitted through a portfolio review process.
During the second year, students form development teams that construct a working game engine and software title as the program capstone experience.
The capstone culminates in defense before program faculty, as well as a public exhibition.
The combination provides a unique and comprehensive educational experience for individuals who aspire to a career in the game development industry.
The university ranked as the #6 program in the nation by The Princeton Review as one of the best game design master's degrees in the U.S.
