About the Minor
The Minor in Interdisciplinary Game Studies is a collaboration between the Department of Art, the Dana School of Music, and CSIS. Students who pursue this minor will take courses across all departments, learning a combination of different creative and technical skills. Our minor also expands students' understanding of how game studies and design can intersect with other fields and allows them to develop additional skills that complement the marketable competencies and knowledge they acquire in their majors.
Students who earn the Minor in Interdisciplinary Game Studies often pursue careers in animation, music composition, computer science, software engineering or software development, visual effects, and other similar professions.
