Minor
in Computer Game Design and Development
The minor in computer game design and development is an interdisciplinary program
involving participation from the areas of Art, Business, Mathematics, Psychology
and Computer Science. It provides students with the skills needed for a variety
of careers in the field of Computer Gaming with a foundation in artistic, mathematical,
psychological and computer programming tools and techniques relevant to the design
and development of computer games as well as in business methodologies applicable
to Computer Gaming. Legal and societal implications of computer games will also
be studied.
The proximity of CSUCI to numerous motion picture and game production studios
in the Los Angeles area makes our program even more compelling. It is designed
to address the immediate needs for specialists trained in their respective areas,
who can work efficiently in multidisciplinary teams that are needed for developing
games.
