Computer Game Design Minor


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Colleges, Departments, and Programs

This minor is intended to prepare students with the requisite knowledge to develop video games. Upon completion of the minor, the student will have the knowledge to develop video games independent of the platform. More importantly, this minor will give students the experience and framework to work cohesively when the technical track overlaps with the visual track.

Requirements


Total Credits: 24-25


University Policy on Minors


To declare a minor, the student must be a degree candidate and receive permission from the department offering the minor, as well as the college to which the department is attached. Requirements may vary by department and/or college. Prospective minors are encouraged to inquire and plan their minor early because the structure of requirements could necessitate the use of more than six semesters. Courses completed prior to formal declaration will count toward the minor program.

Minors consist of at least 18 credits, of which 9 credits must be at the upper division (300-400) level. A department offering a minor may establish other requirements beyond these minimal requirements. A minor must be completed at the time of the degree and will be so noted on the student’s transcript. A student cannot be readmitted to the University to complete only a minor.
