<div style="font-size: 12px;">Apply now for
the Specialization in Game Design and
Development!</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;"><br>
</div>
<div>The specialization brings together students
in Telecommunication, Information Studies and
Media, Computer Science, and Studio Art. The
specialization complements the breadth and
depth of knowledge students acquire in their
majors with a multidisciplinary understanding
of game design and development. For most
majors outside of TC, the specialization often
nearly fulfills the student's cognate
requirements.<br>
<br>
Through the Game Specialization courses,
students will learn the technology, design
fundamentals, and development process of
digital games, as well as the history, social
impacts, and business of games. Students will
also gain valuable skills in communicating and
collaborating in team-based projects
while building a strong portfolio of games.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">The specialization
contains four courses, taken in sequence,
totaling 12 credits, usually taken during your
junior and senior years, including:</div>
