JULY 10, 2024 — Students with a love for video games will have a chance to turn their hobby into an exciting career with the help of a new program later this year. A new Game Design program, to be housed in the UTSA University College, will offer its first classes in Fall 2024.
Game design is a new concentration within the multidisciplinary studies (MDST) bachelor’s degree programs. It will join about a dozen other prescribed degree tracks already available under the MDST umbrella.
The program will take a cross-disciplinary approach to game design and will include three distinct focus areas: game programming, digital art, and media and game studies.
UTSA students will complete a wide variety of coursework offered by the university’s College of Sciences (COS) and College of Liberal and Fine Arts (COLFA), gaining a strong foundation in computer science fundamentals and in art, design and communications principles. They will learn various programming languages like C# and Python while becoming proficient in creative software used by the gaming industry for 3D modeling and animation. This comprehensive curriculum will prime students to enter the state’s growing gaming sector.
