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.
| Game Design | Game Production | Game Programming |
| History of Games | Game Architecture & Design | Modification Programming |
| 3D Character Development | Foundations of Game Production | 2D Game Engine Programming |
| Simulated Environments | Advanced Game Production | 3D Game Engine Programming |
| Educational Game Design | Virtual Reality Design | WebGL Programming |
| Game Design | Game Production | Game Programming |

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.
We aim to facilitate networking between our top students and Industry professionals. The Goal is to give students feedback, direction, and guidance as they complete their academic careers.
For industry professionals this provides a way to give back to the communities that fostered them as well as to get an inside look at the talent of tomorrow.
The College offers undergraduate degrees in architecture, digital design, industrial design and interior design as well as graduate degrees in architecture, infrastructure planning, and urban systems.
The College of Architecture and Design is a comprehensive Design School located in a comprehensive research university. By studying design here, you will have ample opportunities for cross-pollination of ideas and interdisciplinary interaction.
NJIT offers 126 degree programs through six professional schools and colleges. You can double major, design an interdisciplinary major, opt for an accelerated bachelor’s or master’s degree program, and cross-register at nearby schools such as Rutgers University–Newark.

NJIT will dip its toe in the interactive computer-generated experience by conducting a VR learning community study within the freshman year seminar funded by Oculus Education.
The noncredit course teaches basic professional principles in a collaborative format to students who have similar academic goals.
