Game Design and Interactive Media Minor

 Requirements for Minors

• At least 50% of the minor courses must be unduplicated, i.e., not used to simultaneously satisfy credit requirements of the major, core curriculum, or additional minors.
• At least 50% of the minor courses must be completed in residence at UNH.
• A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required in the minor (programs may set higher requirements).
• A student may not declare a major and minor in the same program.

 A total of 18 credits in art is required for the minor in Game Design and Interactive Media.

This minor provides a broad exploration of how games are built, technically and artistically, as well as how they function as artistic and cultural expressions. The program also allows students to pursue more focused explorations of their passions for specific aspects of game design. All students will work individually and collaboratively to build their own games, drawing upon skills developed in courses that focus on narrative, writing, music, visual arts, and more.

By the end of this minor, students will be able to:

• Describe the technical, formal, and artistic aspects of games and interactive media
