Overview

Have you ever been curious about what steps went into creating your favorite video game? As a Game Programming major at Mount Saint Mary College, you'll learn all about the game development process by analyzing professional game engines, learning scripting languages, developing artificial intelligence for non-player characters, working with graphics, networks, and various other components.

Why be a Game Programming Major?

Here's what make the Mount's Game Programming major unique:

Hands-on learning: What better way to learn about creating games than by making one of your own? Throughout your courses, you'll focus on developing 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional games using computer programming languages and modern software engineering practices. Plus, you'll be able to create and design your own game from start to finish during your senior year.

Location, location, location: Being a short train ride to New York City is just one of the many advantages of the Mount's location. Game Programming majors at the Mount will also benefit from the Hudson Valley, and in particular Newburgh and Beacon - a hotbed for the professional arts.
