Game Development, B.S.

Mission

The Department of Physical and Computational Sciences offers a rigorous education in Chemistry, Mathematics, Economics, Pre-Engineering/Physical Science, and Computer Science (Cybersecurity), embodying the College’s commitment to teaching and learning. The department fosters intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and innovation, preparing students to address complex scientific and societal challenges. In alignment with the College’s mission to provide a liberal arts education and prepare professionals, the department equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in their careers and contribute meaningfully to their communities in an atmosphere of study, work, and service.

The Game Development Program is a comprehensive and focused curriculum designed to prepare students for the rapidly changing industry of game development. The program prepares students to work in a variety of game development fields, including becoming experts in virtual reality and interactive simulation systems. Students who complete the program will be expected to have general and subject-specific competencies, including the ability to initiate software projects, project management techniques, and the development of mathematical modeling and computer graphics. Students gain a strong foundation of knowledge, supported by hands-on project experiences and the encouragement to present research. Opportunities for experiential learning opportunities such as internships, work-study, and research, further enhance the synthesis of their theoretical and applied knowledge.

Learning Outcomes 

  1. Students will be able to apply course-acquired knowledge gained to address diverse computational challenges, develop computer-based solutions, and evaluate the implementations.
  2. Students will be able to assess systematically the theoretical, practical, and ethical dimensions of computer-based solutions to problems, including the use of contemporary research and development.
  3. Students will be able to communicate effectively technical concepts in both oral and written formats promoting collaboration and knowledge dissemination.
  4. Students will be prepared for successful careers or graduate studies in game development, demonstrating proficiency in technical skills and real-world problem-solving.

 

CPSC 331

This course introduces a student to C - the fundamental language used to write many high-level languages. By the end of this course, the student will have a better understanding of how computers turn codes into ones and zeroes, and be able to use that understanding to build more efficient programs

CPSC 351

C# is a modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language with a range of uses, most notably creating desktop applications, web applications, web services, and building games using the Unity engine. This course is intended to give students a working knowledge of the C# programming language and the .NET framework, as well as an understanding of C#’s application to the Unity Game Development Engine. This online course has optional live sessions. Course offered through LCMC Rize consortium partner.

CPSC 431

This course is intended to provide students with the skills and knowledge to bring their mastery of the Unity game engine and C# programming up to a professional standard. Students will learn how to perform a range of vital code-based tasks within the Unity platform, and will grow their skills in building core gameplay functionality, supporting systems, and platform-specific optimizations. This course was built in collaboration with Unity. Upon successful completion, students will be prepared to sit for the Unity Certified Associate: Programmer exam. This online course has optional live sessions. Course offered through LCMC Rize consortium partner.
