Overview

Key features

The Gaming and Interactive Design Major is offered by Palm Beach Atlantic University. Students will create design documentation that applies storytelling to game development.

Students will work on interdisciplinary teams to create original game projects from start to finish following a milestone-based iterative development process. The game design program at PBA will offer several points of unique value for students. These aim to provide both a holistic education and make students valuable contributors in the professional workplace. In addition to foundational skills that all game designers should be expected to have, our students explore unique aspects of game design that are seldom found elsewhere. One such avenue is storytelling through games. While underemphasized historically in the game industry, storytelling is central to traditional media and of rising importance in games and interactive media. Our students should be able to leverage storytelling to incorporate meaningful interactions into their work and have a more profound impact on players.
