Why Earn a Game Programming Certificate?

  • The Laboratory for Recreational Computing was established in 1993 at the University of North Texas Department of Computer Science and Engineering, making it one of the first programs of its kind in Texas. We offer classes in game programming leading to a Certificate in Game Programming alongside a B.S. in Computer Science, a B.S. in Computer Engineering, or a M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering.

Our game programming classes are designed to give you the three things that game industry professionals need:

  • Technical knowledge
  • Experience working in teams using a revision control system and
  • The ability to work and learn independently
