游戏设计和开发专业的跨学科研究学士（BIS）专为渴望获得互动游戏中游戏或相关领域职业所需的背景和技术技能的学生而设计。该计划的技术根源于计算机和信息科学，同时涵盖了许多学术学科的课程范围，包括写作，电影，图形设计和音乐。学生参加由学生设计的两轨计划。其中一条路线侧重于计算和编程方面。学生从基本的编程课程开始，这些课程教授游戏设计师使用的最常见的编码语言（尤其是C，有时在后台运行Python或其他语言）。然后，高级课程提供有关游戏设计，水准，角色开发和动画，预生产，人工智能和可视化的进一步培训。

The program is for students aspiring to gain the background and technical skill necessary for a career in gaming or related areas in interactive media, and closely connects students with the region's game design companies and to the regional industrial ecosystem for games creation (including games for entertainment, serious games, animation, and work relating to the emerging esports sector). The major, while mainly preparing students for careers in the videogame companies and start-up enterprises, may also be understood as connecting students to career pathways in application development, film special effects, web design, animation, and other design arts.<br><br>Students desiring deeper training in game programming, whose career interests might also include work in the wider data sciences, might also consider the B.S. major in Game Development.
