An expert panel of industry advisors provides regular guest lectures, mentors teams of students for capstone projects, and attends networking and career events. Drawing on existing expertise at UCSC, the program is delivered by a team of world-class academics from the fields of natural language processing, deep learning, linguistics, classical machine learning, and data science.Ĭlose collaboration with an advisory board of senior industry scientists from Silicon Valley R&D ensures that the program has both academic rigor and real-world context. Our selective Natural Language Processing program is taught intensively over 15 to 18 months Building on computer science, our program provides a cost-effective way to equip students with the skills needed for a successful career in this fast-growing field. The curriculum is designed so that all students develop a baseline understanding of the necessary areas: game design, game technology, integrating subject matter expertise, designing and performing efficacy measures, effective teamwork, and career planning - all within the context of the serious games field. Students in this program will propose their own game ideas and work with subject matter experts to realize and test their creations. in Serious Games targets the development of novel games that have the potential to make high societal impacts, such as learning games, simulation, health-based games, and more. As games have grown in importance, game developers have found ways to design games that aim to impact measurable social goals - and businesses, nonprofits, and governmental entities have also sought to fund and develop games that serve purposes other than entertainment. The Serious Games Master of Science program (SG) is a five-quarter, professionally-oriented degree program. The curriculum’s focus on professional methods and work habits, understanding of games from both practical and theoretical perspectives, and the generation of new gameplay ideas, provides excellent preparation for a career as a game developer. Students gain foundational skills in game technology and game design, and advanced skills in methods of game development that maximize creativity and expression. The degree explores state-of-the-art and novel experiences in video game development across genres, audiences, and platforms. The Games and Playable Media Masters of Science program (GPM) is a five-quarter, professionally-oriented degree program that provides students with an intensive educational experience to prepare them to enter the computer game industry.
