Gaming At College

By Marcus Moore

Montgomery College computer gaming students will be able to pursue a bachelor's degree without leaving the county.

Beginning this fall, the University of Baltimore will bring the third and fourth year of its bachelor's program in simulation and digital entertainment to the Universities at Shady Grove in Rockville.

Montgomery College began offering an associate's degree in computer gaming and simulation in fall 2005. Since then, the college and the University of Baltimore have partnered so Montgomery College students can transfer to the university to finish the program.

The program allows students to work with gaming professionals to test and build games and simulations. Students will have created their own games by the time they graduate.
