COURSE CURRICULUM

LaSalle College Montréal’s Computer Science Technology program with a specialization in Video Game Programming includes a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip students with both technical skills and general education. The concentration courses cover key topics such as applied mathematics, data processing specifically for video games, and structured programming, providing a strong foundation in coding and computational thinking. Students delve into object-oriented programming concepts in two parts, enhancing their ability to create efficient, reusable code. The program emphasizes the development and mastery of game engines through three dedicated courses, allowing students to build and optimize interactive gaming environments. Additional courses focus on databases, operating systems, applied statistics for video games, and graphical environments, ensuring students are well-versed in the diverse technologies involved in game development. Networking elements and internet programming are also covered, reflecting the growing importance of online gaming and connectivity. The curriculum culminates in a substantial internship of 525 hours, offering practical industry experience and professional integration. Alongside technical training, students complete general education courses, including physical education, humanities, literature, second languages, and complementary courses, which foster well-rounded skill sets, cultural awareness, and responsible citizenship. This balanced approach prepares graduates to excel both as skilled programrs and adaptable professionals ready to contribute to the evolving video game industry.
