The program offers a two-year associate degree with three specialization tracks:
1. Art and Animation
2. Programming and Level Design
3. Educational Game Design
The associate degree program is designed to prepare you for a career in the electronic game industry or other fields that use interactive simulations such as entertainment, communications and education.
In addition to specializations in art and programming, the associate degree includes a core of courses designed for transfer to a four-year university.
