Information Technology major with a concentration on game development

[walruspanda]

I'll be honest, even as someone who's a fan of PUG's BSIT degree (in the final term of two right now), the Game Development concentration within BSIT seems...odd. The other concentrations make sense as something either in or adjacent to IT -- for example, I don't do software development per se in my IT job, but I do plenty of Bash and Python coding for API calls and data manipulation, so learning languages has definite IT use. But game development skills aren't useful in IT, and IT skills aren't useful (except on the margins) in game development.

I'm not completely sure what PUG's thought process was here. If I were trying to change careers into game development, this isn't the degree I'd get -- except maybe as a stepping stone into a game development MS.
