With emerging technologies, preparing for a career is not only about being proficient in current industry-standard tools but also about understanding theory and design to adapt and grow in the future. The Simulation and Digital Entertainment program met my passion for new media with the practical training and conceptual framework I needed to define my career.”
—Brittany Steiner, B.T.P.S. ’06
With more than 100 companies in the Baltimore-Washington area involved in interactive development, you can be confident in a future career in the multibillion-dollar industry of games and simulation with the experience you gain in our bachelor's program.
You'll study basic game concepts and design, the fundamentals of computer programming, 3-D modeling and animation, usability design, the application of simulation to education and other nonentertainment fields and the design of multiplayer games. The coursework can help prepare you for graduate study or a career in information technology and computer science, as well as business and visual design.
Through dual capstone seminars, you'll work closely with professionals to test and build games and simulations, and you'll graduate with a portfolio of projects to showcase your skills.
