This program provides focused, hands-on training to prepare you for opportunities in the fast-growing game design and development industry. You’ll complete five courses (15 credits total) that build your skills in programming, multimedia computing, and collaborative design.

Starting with Python programming, you’ll explore the fundamentals of multimedia and interactive computing before advancing into core game development techniques. You’ll then deepen your expertise through an advanced game development course and a final collaborative project, where you’ll apply your knowledge in a team-based environment.

Whether you’re preparing for a career in gaming or looking to strengthen your skills in interactive media and software development, this certificate offers a structured pathway to build your portfolio and expand your technical foundation. See the curriculum.
