NMU has great gaming program, magazine says

By Nicole Walton

Undated – A video game magazine says Northern Michigan University has one of the best game design programs in the country. The Princeton Review and GamePro Magazine created the list of Top 50 Undergraduate Game Design Programs.

The ranking comes despite the fact that Northern doesn't offer a game design major or minor. NMU's Computer Science Department has incorporated 3-D game engine programming in higher level classes, and the Art and Design Department teaches 3-D modeling and animation.

The list will be published in the April issue of GamePro Magazine.
