Welcome to the Playground
Once little more than a technological curiosity catering to a niche market, the video games industry has exploded into a multi-billion dollar commercial enterprise that today employs hundreds of thousands of developers world wide, while at the same time becoming the standard bearer at the forefront of countless bleeding edge advances in computer science. Not only are video games a staple of today's popular culture, but they have become a fundamental outlet for creativity, training tools for hazardous occupations, and scaffolding for invaluable research. As the industry continues to grow, so too does the demand for talented, multi-disciplined developers.
UNC Charlotte's game design & development program answers that call, providing tomorrow's game developers with real-world knowledge, training, and insight via a certificate program offered to both graduate and undergraduate students.
