GAME 4100 - Game Studio

12 cr. Day course offered every semester.

Game Studio is a capstone graduation requirement for Game Design majors. It is a full-time, semester-long, pre-professional experience in which students work in teams to plan, design, develop, test, and prepare for publication of a significant game project, in an environment that closely mirrors a professional game studio. Candidates must successfully complete a Game Studio Qualification Program in the semester immediately prior to this course, which includes mandatory attendance at a series of seminars, and the development and defense of a professional portfolio before a faculty committee. Game Studio placement is competitive and based on academic performance, faculty recommendations, and performance in the Game Studio Qualification Program. The capstone requirement may be fulfilled by Game Studio or by COMM 4880 Internship.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of all LAS requirements, and previous Game Design Major requirements with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or better; portfolio review and interview process.
