Art + Technology = Games

WPI's Interactive Media and Game Development (IMGD) major provides an outstanding cross-disciplinary education to its undergraduates in the principles of interactive applications and computer-based game development.

Interactive media respond to user actions, and include digital whiteboard presentations, distributed virtual environments, as well as performance-based media.

Computer games are another form of interactive media, and include those created for both entertainment and educational purposes, as well as serious games that help make decisions in public policy, education, corporate management, health care, and combat preparedness. Game development includes all aspects of creating games including design, content creation, programming, testing, and project management.

WPI's IMGD majors receive a base education in both the technical and artistic aspects of interactive media. There is particular emphasis on programmers and artists working closely together, providing invaluable experience for their post-graduate years.
