Game Development
Program Description
Games and gaming have grown to a $185 Billion dollar industry across mobile, PC, console and VR/AR platforms. Coker’s Game Development program was built in collaboration with Unity Technologies – the #1 most used video game engine in the world – to focus on portfolio-building coursework and project-based learning. Centered around real-world lessons learned from industry partners, this new program ensures students are learning precisely the knowledge, skills and tools that are in highest demand for game developers across the globe.

Whether you want to be involved in creating the next big-budget first person shooter or a small indie platformer, you have the power to touch the lives of every kind of person all over the world. There is no longer a ‘standard gamer’: the passion has well and truly gone global.
Everyone knows there’s money to be made in the video game industry, but you may think that goal is unrealistic for most people. Working in the game industry is totally achievable, and not only is making video games as fun as playing them, but it also could be a great path to a six figure career. With salaries ranging from a little under $70,000 to well over $100,000, don’t let anyone tell you that fun and passion don’t pay.
And no matter what part of the industry you’re interested in, from programming and design to art and storytelling, there’s sure to be a place for you.
