Full Sail Upgrades Game Design & Development to Bachelor of Science Degree

By Anonymous

March 19, 2004--Full Sail Real World Education recently launched the Game Design & Development Bachelor of Science program. The Game Design Bachelor Program is an expansion of the Game Design Associate of Science Program that has been offered at Full Sail since 1998.

“We’re always looking for opportunities to enhance our training,” says Rob Catto, Program Director for Full Sail’s Game Design & Development program. “By expanding the existing curriculum and adding new courses to our Associate of Science program we were able to seamlessly upgrade it to a Bachelor’s program.”

The Bachelor of Science program adds nine new classes to Full Sail’s Game Design training, including Advanced Tool Programming, Data Structures, DirectX, Machine Architecture, Optimization and Software Architecture. The inclusion of these classes has been fortified by the input of the Game Design & Development Advisory Board, an appointed body of industry professionals that are helping to facilitate Full Sail’s “real world” training.

The unique curriculum design provides an opportunity for students to earn a Bachelor of Science Degree in Game Design in only twenty-one months. “By expanding our courses we have been able add additional technologies and concepts to our curriculum,” remarks Catto. “The additional time also allows students to spend more time on their student game projects.”
