The School of Computing & Informatics in partnership with the College of Education and The School of Art will be launching a university wide non-degree certificate program in computer gaming starting Fall 08. This six course 18 credit certificate will have three different areas of emphasis or tracks that the students can specialize in. These tracks are programming, art and education. The students will have to take two core classes followed by a track area core class and two track area electives. The final course is a capstone project that teams of students work with faculty and industry to solve real world problems. Two gaming labs are currently being built one at the Brickyard and another at SkySong to accelerate the curriculum and enrollment needs for this certificate. The School of Computing & Informatics also organizes a six week full time summer camp in game development for high school students. Currently pilot courses are being offered to undergraduate students in game development and the curriculum for the certificate is being tested and refined.
