The Game Development major is intended to provide students with the skills they need to successfully work in the games industry as programmer, designer, or producer. It deliberately focuses on providing students with a broad base of experience, in order to allow them to find success either at larger firms or with smaller developers: the latter of which is of tremendous contemporary relevance, as the majority of new jobs in game development are at small to medium sized studios.
Upon completion of the degree program, students will possess the necessary skills to obtain the Unity Certified Associate: Programmer certification, a highly desirable entry-level professional credential. Additionally, students will have completed the bulk of the requirements and learning objectives required for the Unity Certified Associate: Game Developer exam, with many students who take advantage of opportunities such as game jams and internships being fully prepared.
This major, minor, or concentration is offered online through a consortium of accredited colleges and universities. All courses within the program are delivered by faculty employed by partner institutions in the consortium, with technology and administrative support provided by Rize Education. Oversight of courses offered through the consortium are reviewed and approved by Newman University. Students register through Newman University and receive academic credit from Newman University.
