Game Design

The minor in Game Design at Illinois State University lets you forge your own paths in the industry. And as a member of the Unity Academic Alliance (UAA), the School of Creative Technologies at Illinois State University prepares students for Associate level Unity certifications (Game Development, Artist, Programmer).
