Computer Game Design (“CGD”), one of the top 35 majors for Video and Computer Game Design among US universities, has officially opened at George Mason University Korea in the Fall 2018 semester. With much anticipation, the program offers a unique opportunity for game designer hopefuls to grow their skills and knowledge.
The objective of the Computer Game Design major is to enable students to focus on the artistic components of computer games and provide technical skills that are needed to work in the field. Ranked as one of the best Game Design Bachelor degrees in the United States, it is an interdisciplinary course that combines computer science, visual arts, digital arts and computer music.
According to Mason Korea’s Office of Academic Affairs, there are currently five students who have declared Computer Game Design as their major. One of those students, Young Woo Kim (Computer Game Design, ’22) shared his experience with The Voice. He said, “I was always interested in CGD and arts. Since I love games as well, I thought that declaring CGD as my major may help me fulfill my interests and put my skills to use. Although it is my first semester and I haven't learned anything much yet, I can say for sure that I have great hopes and excitement towards this major. I hope there will be more students joining us in the future.”
As mentioned before, CGD major has just taken its first step at Mason Korea. However, it is expected that Mason will enlarge the new major with diversified and profound CGD programs. Students who are interested in the CGD major can get more specific information by visiting the Mason Korea Office of Academic Affairs on the 5th floor of the GMUK building. Also, more detailed information on the course is updated regularly on GMU Computer Game Design (https://game.gmu.edu/), GMU College of Visual and Performing Arts (https://cvpa.gmu.edu/) and GMU Catalog (https://catalog.gmu.edu).
