Thesis II

Catalog description

Thesis 2 is the second of two related courses, Thesis 1 and Thesis 2, in which Game Center MFA students create their thesis projects. The thesis classes are focused on supporting the students’ work towards creating a finished project during their second year. Students will be encouraged to work in groups to create their thesis projects, but the possibility also exists for students to work by themselves. Because of the wide range of forms that a thesis can take, the thesis courses do not present a specific curriculum. Instead, they provide a context and structure to support and guide the students’ research. Thesis 2 begins for a student only after completing Thesis 1. Students in Thesis 2 should begin the semester with an Alpha version of their game or game-related project, which is a fully functional version of the project that includes all major features and elements in some rough form.
