Change the World with Us!
Coming to MSU October 9-11: the Meaningful Play conference
The Telecommunication, Information Studies, and Media (TISM) Masters of Arts Program at Michigan State University is now recruiting students now for the second cohort (to begin in fall 2008) of our Serious Game Design track. We seek outstanding students with a desire to create and study games which change the world.
Serious Games are games with a purpose beyond entertainment, including but not limited to games for learning, games for health, and games for policy and social change. Designing effective, engaging serious games requires theoretical understanding of learning, cognition, emotion, and play. Along with great game design, serious games need content and pedagogy expertise, design research, and impact research. Our graduate program can help you gain the knowledge and experience you will need.
The TISM-SGD MA track aims at the heart of serious game design, that magical region where theory and content intersect with game design. Game design for entertainment already requires diverse, multidisciplinary expertise. Serious game design calls upon vastly wider range of expertise and roles.
