Overview

You may have started gaming for the fun of it — to compete in ways that you can’t in the real world, to make new friends, and to explore crazy, new, virtual worlds. But video games are not just for entertainment. The same technology and design process that goes into making games is found in simulations used for education and training, and the apps people use for crypto currency, global translation, drone-assisted rescue missions, and self-driving vehicles.

What you will learn in the Bachelor of Arts in Interactive Media: Game Design and Development at Clark University

Create 3D models of the game's characters and avatars

Animate 3D models and bring them to life

Create the 3D landscapes and building architectures of game worlds.

Build virtual 3D props, costumes, and interactable game objects.

Establish the foundational logic and mechanical plan for how a game operates.

Provide a conceptual framework for the mechanics of game play. Aid in world, environment, narrative, and character development.
Create and balance all areas that affect game play throughout the levels.

Careers

For students in interactive media, internship and career opportunities are ever-expanding. Strong consumer demand for video games and other interactive media in most sectors creates robust career opportunities not only in what is traditionally referred to as game design, but also in the related areas of data translation and user experience.
