Game Design Minor

BFA_5

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.

Requirements

OART-UT 1600 Games 101
A minimum of 12 additional credits of any other Game Center courses, for example a minor could be Games 101 and:

OART-UT 1605 Intro to Game Design
OART-UT 1606 Intro to Game Studies
OART-UT 1617 Intro to Programming for Games

Those classes are just one example; all OART-UT Game (OART-UT 16XX) classes will count towards the Minor as well as all non-majors sections of GAMES-UT classes.

Apply

Everything you need to know in order to declare the Game Design Minor is available on the Tisch website.

Register

Minor courses are offered through Tisch Open Arts, you can find them under OART-UT in Albert.  Open Arts courses are open to all undergrad students, you do not need to be a part of the minor to register.
