Albany Campus

The gaming industry has grown, surpassing annual revenues in
Hollywood and professional sports combined. To meet demands, our
Game Design and Implementation program is a two-year program
created for those interested in careers in game development.

Students learn about fundamental game design principles, the history
of games, 2D and 3D art asset creation, and programming in Unity
and C#. They collaborate in teams to create a variety of analog and
digital games to simulate a real-world game studio experience. Using
project-based learning, students design original video games as well
as create a virtual video game design company. Additionally, they earn
math (year 1) and English (year 2) credits while creating a masterwork
portfolio that will showcase their value.

Upon completion of the program, students gain focus for higher
education potential in specific fields including: game designer,
2D or 3D artist, animator, quality assurance (video game tester)
and programmer.
