Minor in Game Design
The Game Design Minor is a 16-credit minor that provides students with a well-rounded education in the design, production, and study of games. The minor covers introductory courses in all aspects of game design and development, including non-digital game design, game scholarship, programming for games, and digital game production. Our minors have gone on to work in the game industry, become game scholars or critics, and to enrich their future careers with a deep literacy in this vital form of cultural expression.
