Game animation and simulation is the perfect major for you! Students in-game animation and simulation design are taught 3D animation techniques as well as the production and management of game environments. They are also trained for a broad variety of scenarios that require prototyping 3D designs for manufacturers of medical equipment, transportation, and the military.<\/p>\n<p>Courses in this program prepare students for professional practice in game, animation, and simulation design by applying technical, and theoretical skills to solve problems using open-source and other software applications. Upon completion of the program, students will be able to critically analyze, develop, and produce engaging mass media projects associated with a variety of entertainment, industrial, commercial, and educational fields.<\/p>\n<div id=\"learning-goals\" class=\"alert alert-info\">\n<h3>Learning Goals<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Students will be able to communicate orally, visually and in written form to support a visual art or design decision.<\/li>\n<li>Students will understand art in terms of its civic and ethical impact.<\/li>\n<li>Students critically analyze\u00a0visual design problems, synthesize information and create pieces with\u00a0corresponding\u00a0written or oral language to support their outcomes.<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Students employ\u00a0traditional art techniques and technological knowledge necessary to work in the\u00a0art and design community.<\/li>\n<li>Students use the tools and technology related to their specific concentration, and will acquire an informed voice as it pertains to art history.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\">software, engineering, computer, interface, game, gaming, design, animation, 3D, modeling, drawing, writing<br \/>\r\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"contact-program\"><h4 class=\"widget-title widgettitle\">Program Contact<\/h4><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<br \/><center><div class='action-buttons'><a class=\"button apply prog\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saumag.edu\/apply\" \/>Apply Now<\/a><a class=\"button view prog\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saumag.edu\/academics\/degrees\" \/>View All Programs<\/a><\/div><\/center><\/div><script>\njQuery('#program-tab a').click(function (e) {\n  e.preventDefault()\n  jQuery('.tab-content .tab-pane').removeClass('active in');\n  jQuery(this).tab('show')\n})\n  jQuery('.nav li a').click(function(e) {\n\n        jQuery('.nav li.active').removeClass('active');\n\n        var $parent = jQuery(this).parent();\n        $parent.addClass('active');\n        e.preventDefault();\n    });\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Esports at SAU Southern Arkansas University offers two levels of esports athletic membership: varsity and non-varsity teams.
