University of the People’s undergraduate catalog now includes a
Certificate in Game Design.
Quote:The Game Design Certificate program prepares students to create engaging, inclusive, and original games by applying principles of storytelling, mechanics, and aesthetics. Students gain hands-on experience in prototyping, collaborative development, and professional presentation while building a strong portfolio for careers in the game industry.
The certificate consists of the six UoP courses
- GS 1001 Game Design
- GS 1101 Games and Society
- GS 2001 Narrative and Storytelling in Games
- GS 3000 Game Prototyping
- GS 3100 Game Engines
- GS 4000 Game Design Capstone (Portfolio)
The
fees page of the catalog indicates a $60 certificate program application fee and a $320 per-course assessment fee, double the assessment fee of other UoP undergraduate courses. The total cost of application plus assessments is $1980.
The program is not yet listed on the university’s main website.

There is no overlap with any of the current major courses for any of the degree programs, if that's what you meant.
