Overview

Features

Within the total credit hours needed to complete their undergraduate degree, the students’ business or communication courses prepare our students to become effective leaders, entrepreneurs, and/or creative problem solvers in a wide variety of industries.

Our Virtual Reality and Game Development major at Ohio University is designed to teach students to use emerging technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and digital games specifically for communication purposes – to inform, to persuade, to entertain, and to educate an audience. Students in this major pride themselves on the use of emerging technologies for social improvement in educational, governmental, corporate, entrepreneurial, and/or entertainment venues.

Our program’s emphasis on ethical applications and social improvement goes hand-in-hand with our cutting-edge production approach. Students in the McClure School learn to create innovative immersive content that also makes a difference in the world. Many of our majors also choose to pursue additional credentials such as a certificate in esports, entrepreneurship, or social media.
