It's Your Education, Make an Informed Choice.

Today, the video and Internet gaming industry is a multi-billion dollar global enterprise that includes design and development of games and a variety of other simulation applications used in industry and government. Agencies and corporations spend billions of dollars developing programs using tools like artificial intelligence, specialized coding language, and visual design to create realistic settings within computer simulations. While many of these simulations are for the purpose of gaming, there are numerous other applications, including military training, police forensic work, flight simulation and more. People who want to work in the field of gaming and simulation need to have specialized technical and technological training. A Bachelor of Science in Gaming and Simulation can provide prospective employees the educational background they need to break into this constantly evolving field. Students can expect a rigorous four-year program that is steeped in scientific principle, as well as mathematics and human psychology and behavior. Many programs require a specialty concentration within the field, such as Human Computer Interaction or Management/Entrepreneurship. Students may also develop a portfolio of projects, including individual and team gaming projects. Some programs require internships in the gaming industry prior to graduation, with placement opportunities available.
