Information Technology major with a concentration on game development
#5
@purduestudent, Welcome to the board. It's great you've got a degree/school in mind, I would recommend keeping your options open, similar programs without a hefty math requirement exists... However, as strangers without knowing you more, we can't advise you nor tell you what to do until we get a fuller overview of your scenario, you've got a very good introduction post but it's missing most of the content on the addendum/template here:  https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

As we don't know your overall picture without that addendum/template informing us many more important details. We don't know what subjects you have interest in, other than IT, and what was mentioned above. Your budget, commitments, subject interests, study habits, tuition assistance, support system (family/school/work) and many more play a role... Take some time deciding, researching, and also working on your math courses using alternative credit providers.  

Right now, it's similar to asking which coffee you should get without knowing the details of what you want in the coffee... Have you checked comparable programs? Advice is just that, you decide on what is brought/provided to you...  Good luck, have fun, and please update us with more info.  Just in case SNHU Game Art & Development is something that fits your bill as another option, you may want to review their requirements here: https://www.snhu.edu/admission/academic-.../VJdGCdpqx

Last but not least, to answer your question. How tough is the major?  The IT degree you have provided seems like a standard program from several degree providers, it's in IT not Comp Sci, it doesn't require a hefty math/science requirement as that's not the main goal of the program.  It's to get you into entry-level and you can take those extra courses in Applied Masters programs later.  Each program has a specific niche of students it targets, just like the SNHU program I linked above, there are no Math/Science hefty requirements...
