Design Issues for Undergraduate Game-Oriented Degrees

The paper describes the most significant design issues concerning the development of game-oriented undergraduate degree programs. These issues fall into two broad categories, those that concern the organization of the degree, including its framing and naming, as well as issues concerning the degree’s content. Content issues include the amount of computer science content, use of digital media content, game design and game projects, ethics requirements, breadth requirements, and the impact game degree programs can have on the existing computer science curriculum.
