Description

When playing video/computer games, do you find yourself thinking more about the production of the game rather than winning it? The Game Design and Development program prepares you for the industry of electronic games that is now generating billions of dollars a year and is one of the most popular (and growing) forms of entertainment for people under 18. Game Design and Development involves accounting, designing, visual/sound design, programming, testing, and marketing. The focused curriculum here at UW-Stout presents a wide variety of hands-on classes preparing you to work in any software development position. Typically, students choose the game entertainment industry for their careers, but game development skills are used for military training, education, personal medical assistance, and business simulations as well.
