The University of Toronto Mississauga is launching a game studies program that will introduce students to the world of games from cultural, artistic and technological perspectives – and prepare them for graduate studies and careers in the burgeoning gaming industry. From narrative, design and business to the methodologies of testing, role-playing and the use of video game engines, the new game studies minor cuts across a wide range of disciplines. The program is being offered by the department of English and drama in collaboration with the Institute of Communication, Culture, Information, and Technology

"UTM has been building a presence in the multi-disciplinary world of game studies for several years, but this curriculum initiative has seen its profile increase with the establishment of a new minor as well as the acquisition of the Bolton collection and, more recently, the archives of the Electric Playground, a long-running Canadian video-game show,” a release from UTM said.
