Game Programming Minor
WHY MINOR IN GAME PROGRAMMING?
If you want to be involved in the game development process, the Game Programming minor might be for you. Whether you're a Game Design student looking to become a more-qualified designer or a Computer Science & Innovation student who finds games interesting and wants to expand their programming skills, this 18-credit minor will give you the technical foundation to program games.
- Gain higher-caliber skills which will enable you to produce more complicated features in your design that will make you a stand out among others.
- Learn game architecture—all the pieces and parts that go into the game like graphics, audio, artificial intelligence, physics and input (keyboard, mouse, game controller or multi-touch).
- Be ready to create a game for whatever the next big idea or device is.
If you are interested in pursuing a career in the game industry as a programmer making AAA titles, you will want to look at the Game Programming major, as the minor is not as comprehensive.
