To earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology with a concentration in Game and Application Development, students must fulfill all the requirements of the Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology and complete a minimum of 15 credits by selecting courses from the groups listed below. These selected courses also count toward fulfilling the professional electives and flexible electives requirements of the Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology. Please refer to the Information Technology degree requirements for details. Completing the concentration requires minimum 128 credits. Requirements include all three courses from Group A and one course from Group B.

Group A:

CSI 3380 - Game Design (4)

Note:

Students can substitute at most one course from Group B with at least 3 credits of CSI 4900 (Special Topics), CSI 4995 (Undergraduate Research), or CSI 4996 (Independent Study) provided that the coursework is in the area of Game and Application Development. Approvals of both the instructor and the chair of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering are required for such a substitution.

Students may pursue more than one concentration, but completing multiple concentrations will necessitate more than the standard 128 credits required for the degree. Each concentration must be completed as part of the degree program. At least 8 credits of courses selected from the above groups for the concentration must be non-duplicative with coursework in the student’s minor, another major, or another concentration.
