The Division of Games' faculty and students pursue research in a number of areas, including games for health, games for learning and training, modeling and simulation, and Game AI. Our established collaborations with other departments at the University provides a unique opportunity for research experiences both in “core” game development/design and in integrative work connecting games scholarship with a range of fields such as dance, informal science education, rehabilitation medicine, forensic science, and national security intelligence analysis.
Both our lecturing and tenure-line faculty are recognized leaders in games scholarship, with significant and sustained sponsored projects, impactful research publications, graduates placed at top-ranked academic and industry institutions and leadership service in international scholarly and professional organizations.
