About the Game Development Program

Game Development is a multidisciplinary endeavor that requires the collaboration of experts from many fields. 

About

Here at NJIT we have pooled our talents from across the campus to create options for our students who wish to take part in game development. 

In collaboration between the Information Technology Division and the School and Art and Design we offer a number of degrees that allow our students to focus their academic careers towards game development from Programming, Production, and Design. 

If you are one of the students who can do design and development equally well, dual degree options are available.

At NJIT we do not offer degrees in "Game Design", "Game Production", or "Game Programming".  Instead we offer tracks from within our existing accredited degree programs.  We do not see value in pigeon-holing our students into one industry sector.  We know the work that goes into creating games is more demanding and sophisticated than other applications of computing and design and want the degree that we award to reflect that.
