Curriculum Overview
Completion of the Video Game Development certificate program
requires successfully completing twelve courses and a Capstone
project. There are four required industry courses. Each student
must have at least six courses in their area of specialization
and one course from each of the other areas of specialization.
Note - the Video Game Art course has 3D Modeling &
Rendering I as a prerequisite. Students with 3D modelng experience
using 3D Studio Max can challenge the prerequisite course.
A major advantage of the ACC program is the completion of
the Capstone project. The project will have students from
each of the specialization areas. There will be a mentor to
guide the team. The team will have scheduled project reviews
with industry representatives.
To view individual course descriptions, select the highlighted
specialization areas below.
MAJOR NOTE: With the institution of the
three associate degree plans most of the continuing education
courses will now be intergrated with the credit courses. In
integrated courses there will be both credit and continuing
education students in the classes. Here is a course
number map displaying old and new course
numbers.
