What will I learn?

Designed for students who are passionate about games as creative, fun, and expressive forms, the Game Design BFA major focuses on how games work technically and artistically. You'll learn to use narrative, design, art, sound, and code to create a cohesive game experience with original worlds, systems, and characters. MICA's Game Design majors are based in the JHU–MICA Film Centre, MICA's central location for media arts education and production. Students have access to professional production spaces, industry-standard equipment, and a broad community of filmmakers, animators, sound artists, and creative media practitioners.
