Computer gaming and simulation is part of a rapidly growing and exciting new industry. Gaming is not only the fastest growing
segment of the technology industry but also the fastest growing segment of the entertainment industry. Gaming is not just about
entertainment - game technology is increasingly being applied in a variety of settings, from medical and corporate training to
advocacy, advertising, and emergency response simulation. This interdepartmental certificate presents students with an introduction
to the skills needed to explore the emerging technology area of game and simulation development. Completion of this degree will
expose students to core game development skills and theory, introduce gaming and computer simulation technology applications, and
provide an introduction to computer graphics technology. Electives allow students an opportunity to further explore their particular
area of interest, such as programming, 3D modeling, mobile games, and other topics.
This certificate is a career program and may not readily transfer to four year colleges/universities (except in special cases.)
