About Game Design Foundation
The Game Design Foundation program is an introduction to the professional design and
prototyping processes used to create engaging and meaningful interactive experiences.
The required coursework provides students with a solid foundation in the principles
of game design, user interface (UI) design, and user experience (UX) design as well
as hands on experience with digital design and authoring tools.
Throughout the program, students learn to develop professional skills, to demonstrate
those skills in effective entry-level portfolios, and to work collaboratively on team-based
projects. Students may also participate in internships with industry partners when
available.
Students who successfully complete the Game Design Foundation program will be prepared
to transfer into the Interaction Design program.
