Masters of Game Design

Grand Text Auto ª Gettin’ Schooled in Games drew my attention to a new Master of Science in Engineering in Computer Graphics and Game Technology at the University of Pennsylvania. The program is open to students without a CS degree.

From the U Penn site:

Starting in the Fall of 2004, The University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Computer and Information Science will admit its first class to the newly created Master’s Degree program in Computer Graphics and Game Technology (CGGT). The goal of the program is to expose recent graduates, as well as students returning from industry, to state-of-the-art graphics and animation technologies, as well as interactive media design principles, product development methodologies and engineering entrepreneurship. This degree program will prepare students for positions requiring multi-disciplinary skills such as designers, technical animators and directors and game programmers. Opportunities for specialization will be provided in such core areas as art and animation, creative design, animation and simulation technology, human/computer interfaces and production management.
