Game and Virtual World Development

Get serious about game and virtual world development.

The world of video gaming has come a long way since Pac-Man. Today, there’s an increased demand for animation and visual effects in everything from sophisticated video games to movies to corporate presentations. In fact, jobs in this field are expected to grow 10% annually – faster than most other occupations between now and 2026.

With this major, you’ll take coursework in computer science, mathematics, physics, art and animation. But you can let your creative juices flow, too, as you hone your design skills and become familiar with all areas of video games and virtual simulations.

Although our curriculum is rigorous, faculty will be here to help you succeed. Planning, scheduling and advising are all coordinated in one office. And you’ll find faculty from all specialties coming together for research and service projects. By the time you graduate, you’ll be ready to face the challenges of this rapidly growing field.
