Diploma in Visual & Game Programming
Programmers have the technological know-how to turn a game designer’s concepts and visions in fruition with computer code. Using industry-driven programming tools, students enhance the techniques they already have and develop the ones needed to spark imaginations and launch a creative and in-demand career in a field they love.
Course Objectives
The Visual & Game Programming diploma program is an intense hands-on program with a focus on technical programming skills for video games. While the emphasis is on object-oriented programming, students also study mathematics, scripting, game design, and algorithm development. In addition to core programming skills, the curriculum introduces students to a number of programming topics including graphics, physics, gameplay and tools development.
Students have the opportunity to learn C++, Python, Javascript and OpenGL. Students integrate all of these skills during a final game project in which they create an original video game in a team setting.
This program consists of 90 credits over 6 quarters.
