Gaming Degree & Certificate

Computer Gaming & Simulation A.A. Degree

Sign Up for Code 606

New Gaming Degree

The gaming degree was revised this year to add new classes and technologies. As this is a fast-moving, high-tech career area, we tend to revise the program frequently.

The A.A. degree has three tracks:

  • game art and animation
  • game production and design
  • game programming

View the new Computer Gaming & Simulation A.A. Degree (Revised 2007, Word Format)

View the new transfer agreement with the University of Baltimore (UB) (Revised 2007). Students planning to transfer to UB should be sure to read the requirements before planning their class schedules. Please contact Prof. Solomon with any questions.

Old Gaming Degree

If you started the gaming program before the new revisions went into effect, you can still use the old version of the degree, as long as you graduate within a reasonable timeframe. (Contact an advisor if you have questions).

Here is a copy of the old version of the UB transfer agreement.
