Students begin their first year with hands-on foundational courses in the core areas. During sophomore and junior years, students further develop their design and development skills through intermediate level classes and production studios.

A Game Design BFA Capstone can take a variety of forms, from an individual or group game to a game-related research paper or exhibition.
