- Description
- The Graduate Certificate in Game Science offers training in assessing, tracking, and analyzing player experience using game analytics methods and techniques, biometrics, and research methods including interviews and surveys. Students gain hands-on experience with these methods and techniques under faculty guidance with industry experts in game science. The game development process has shifted from “design, develop, release” to “design, develop, release, and continuously fine-tune based on user data.” Game science plays a critical role in this new process. The Graduate Certificate in Game Science is a one-year, 17-semester-hour program. Upon successful completion of the certificate, students can opt to apply to the Master of Science in Game Science and Design and, if accepted, transfer credits gained through the certificate.
