What it isYou learn to design and code video games, combining programming skills with game design and storytelling. This program emphasizes building complete games from concept to finished product, rather than studying general computer science. It suits people who want to work in the game industry and have both technical problem-solving skills and creative ideas.This program lets you earn both a science degree and a teaching credential in four years, studying subjects like chemistry, physics, biology, or math alongside education theory and practice. Unlike a traditional separate degree followed by teacher training, you complete both simultaneously, so your science and teaching courses run in parallel from the start. It suits students who know they want to teach science in secondary school and want an integrated path that doesn't delay certification.You study how to create video games from start to finish, learning programming, visual design, animation, sound, and storytelling. Unlike a pure computer science degree, this program balances technical skills with creative and business thinking, so you learn game engines, art, and how to actually launch a game. It suits people who want hands-on work making games rather than working only on backend code or studying game theory in isolation.
