The B.S. degree in Computer Games Development reflects the fact that the field of computer games development
is tremendously multidimensional and requires expertise from such areas as: mathematics, physics, programming languages,
operating system, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, art, graphics to name only a few. The program emphasizes
technical components of the game development process. Students graduating from this program will be well prepared for
the process of game design and implementation.
The curriculum consists of the DePaul University Liberal Studies Program
(please see the Liberal Studies homepage)
and Major Field Courses.
