Objective for the Game Programming Concentration in Computer Science

The Computer Science Program offers the opportunity for students to develop a unique blend of knowledge and skills in the areas of computer software and computer hardware. The program provides sufficient theoretical background for continued learning. It also provides practical skills to prepare the students for professional careers in the rapidly changing field of computer science. Students develop good communication skills and the ability for teamwork and leadership roles in their professional careers.

The Game Programming Concentration will prepare students to apply their computer science skills in game development and mobile programming areas.
