Online Video Game Design Degree Programs

In 2004, video games produced more revenue than movie theater box office receipts. As audiences continue to consume computer and video games, the demand for skilled game designers is likely to increase. A degree in game design and development can provide the skills you need to cash in on this rising demand.

People who are interested in technology and design often find it challenging to take their interests to a professional level. A degree in game design and development can be the crucial first step. While degree programs in graphic design focus only on the creation of graphics, degree programs in game design and development teach all the phases of game creation, from writing the design to marketing the final product. Coursework for a game design and development degree may include:
  • Graphics and multimedia
  • Programming and implementation
  • Gameplay and level design
  • Preproduction
  • Animation for gaming
Students can pursue the basics of game design through a certificate degree program, or go more in-depth with an associate's degree or bachelor's degree in game design and development.

Though no degree can guarantee employment or a particular salary, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that software publishing will be the third-fastest growing industry over the next decade. Experienced game designers may earn salaries of $65,000 or more with large software companies.
