Video Game Development is an interdisciplinary concentration that combines traditional studio art practices with foundational skills in computer science and game design. This program equips students to become visual storytellers and interactive artists for the digital age, preparing them for careers in the video game industry and related creative technologies. Students will study drawing, 2D and 3D design, animation, character and environment development, and digital imaging, while also gaining introductory experience in coding, game engines, and user experience design.
Through hands-on projects and collaborative learning, students develop the creative and technical skills needed to conceptualize, prototype, and contribute visually to immersive game experiences. Whether working as concept artists, asset creators, or indie game developers, graduates of this program will be prepared for both professional employment and continued study in game art, animation, or digital media design. This concentration empowers students to use art as a tool not only for entertainment but also for narrative impact, cultural expression, and innovation in interactive storytelling.
