New Computer Game Development Certificate Program
April 02, 2011
Students completing the four-course program sequence will be certified computer game developers, and the certification will appear on their permanent ASU transcripts. However, the program is designed to be an additional credential, not a substitute for a university degree.
“We continue to believe the best degree for a student hoping to get into the game development industry is a bachelor’s degree in computer science,” said Dr. Tim Roden, Computer Science Department head. “A general degree gives a graduate more flexibility when looking for a job. On the other hand, companies want to know a graduate has had some experience actually developing computer games. That is what the certificate program is about. It demonstrates that a graduate has that specialized experience.”
