With the rise in popularity of mobile gaming, the field of game development has seen a dramatic spike in the last five years. Walsh’s game development major provides students with the skills they need to successfully work in the games industry as a developer or producer. It focuses on providing students with a broad base of experience that will translate to success either at larger firms or with smaller developers. 

Students will gain extensive experience in the Unity engine. They will also build strong skills in application development, user experience design, web design and project management.

Minor: Psychology

"The Division of Math and Science, in particular, does an amazing job of preparing students for life after graduation. Because there is so much variability within this division, you would think one area would take precedence, but that is not the case at all! Whether students are going onto medical school, PT school, or research, they all feel well prepared by Walsh following graduation."
