The coursework will give students an opportunity to learn about the digital game industries and how to take a game idea from a concept to the console.

“I’m really excited about the launch of this field of study,” Ben Bays said, associate professor of instruction in the Department of Radio-Television-Film (RTF) and director of the Karch Gaming Institute. “I believe it will be a great contribution to UT and will go above and beyond the academics we already provide. Now is the right time for this minor and students are already voicing interest.”
