Gaming and simulation is a rapidly growing and exciting industry. Gaming is not only the fastest growing segment of the technology industry but also the fastest growing segment of the entertainment industry. Gaming is not just about entertainment- many industries use gaming and simulation technology, from medical and corporate training to advocacy, advertising, and emergency response simulation. This degree presents students with an introduction to the skills needed to explore the emerging technology area of game and simulation development. Students completing the degree will learn foundational skills of digital and board game creation, web development, animation, 3D modeling, and programming. Electives allow students an opportunity to further explore their area of interest, such as programming, 3D modeling, mobile games, and other topics.
Students may transfer this degree to complete a bachelor’s degree in gaming and simulation at the University of Baltimore (UB). Refer to the UB Articulation Plan for specific requirements, and see further information at www.studygaming.com. See a gaming advisor to choose electives and discuss transfer options.
