The Game Art and Design program prepares students for a career in the interactive entertainment industry through immersive training in core-competency areas; which include fine arts, theory, tools, strategy development, and projects that mirror professional pipeline production environments. These areas work together to create a solid foundation for students as they move toward entering the industry. Early classes in the program develop fine art skills and an aesthetic foundation that supports all subsequent work. Fundamentals in craft and tool application are introduced in the sophomore and junior years through a series of hands-on classes that build skill sets in 2D computer graphics, scripting, 3D modeling, animation, texture and lighting. Students will also begin the design and development of their first game level through group work that simulates professional pipeline production techniques.

Students pursue and polish their main focus (Environmental artists, Texture Artists, Modeler, Level Designer, Character Artists, etc.) while getting a well rounded education through a production pipeline. They must learn many aspects of production while still focusing on what their individual talents are. Our goal is to push students to work on what their strengths are, while gaining proficiency in other skills to perpetuate longevity, flexibility, and adaptability with the every changing job market.

Students will finish the program having completed a large game level as a group, as well as having created an individual level for their demo reel which will highlight the assets they personally produced for the final game project.

Graduates will be prepared for entry-level positions in the Game Art and Design industry, as well as in related fields.
