I chose to pursue this degree at Kutztown University because of the flexibility offered within its Game Development program. Game Development is such an open-ended field, but Kutztown’s Computer Science department provides a flexible curriculum that allows students to focus on art, creative writing, or software development. Through these options, I have been able to create simple yet enjoyable games inspired by my early childhood.
