Other graduate programs at MIT allow students to work with the MIT Game Lab to supplement their educational and research goals, including the MIT Media Lab and the Sloan MBA program. Students can study and participate in active research of aspects in computer science that are vital in the creation of modern digital games, such as artificial intelligence, networking, and computer graphics. This program is a combination of coursework, a Master's thesis, and active research in one of CMS' many research groups, including the MIT Game Lab.Įlectrical Engineering and Computer Science offers an extensive graduate program in Computer Science. While the core curriculum involves study across all media, students often specialize in one medium, including games. Alice's background is in Fiber Science and Apparel Design with a B.S. Her research focuses on programmable materials, human-computer interaction, and digital fabrication. Graduate StudiesĪs with undergraduate studies, many programs at MIT offer advanced graduate courses and research opportunities in games:Ĭomparative Media Studies offers a 2-year Masters of Science degree. Currently, she is a master candidate in the Tangible Media Group at MIT Media Lab. Because MIT is a research institute, all students interested in games should take at least 1 year of UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunity) with the MIT Game Lab or with one of the many CMS research groups developing games. This will supplement the core interests of a student with the game design, game studies, and game analysis courses offered by the department. In all cases, students can attain a well-rounded course of study by concentrating or minoring in Comparative Media Studies by taking the four classes recommended in the list below (CMS.300, CMS.301, CMS.608, and CMS.611). Focus in business through the MIT Sloan School of Management.Interested in the business practices required for creating your own game company? Focus in psychology through Course 9: Brain & Cognitive Science with either a major or minor in Brain & Cognitive Science or a minor in Psychology.Transformative truth-telling at the MIT Open Documentary Lab. More about Comparative Media Studies/Writing >. Interested in psychological games and behavioral change? An innovative humanities program that applies critical analysis, collaborative research, and design across media arts, forms, and practices. Students can also achieve a Masters of Engineering with an additional year of study after their bachelor program is completed. A pure Computer Science major is known as '6-3'. Focus in computer science through Course 6: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Interested in the computational and technical challenges of developing digital games? Focus in game design and game studies through our parent department, Comparative Media Studies.Interested in the design and history of games and how people play and learn with games? However, approaches can vary depending on what the student wants to do with games. By their nature, games require an interdisciplinary approach to their study. While MIT does not have a formal game development or game design degree program, the MIT Game Lab helps MIT students who are interested in games create their own program of study.
