DePaul's Game Dev program, founded in 2004, was the first Bachelor of Science degree program at a Liberal Arts university. It emphasizes a team-based multidisciplinary approach to game development. There are two areas of concentration: game production and design, and game programming. Students in all areas share core Game Dev courses, culminating in the two-quarter Senior Capstone game project. By working together on game development teams, students gain a valuable experience that prepares them for the unique nature of the profession.
The Programming concentration is built on the foundation of DePaul's 20-year-old Computer Science program, one of the largest in the country. Students in the Production and Design concentration receive base training in programming, design, as well as production and management skills that apply to a wide variety of businesses.
