Computer design, animation and game design engineering technology is one of the fastest growing majors at Kent State Tuscarawas. It is the largest major offered by the engineering technology program.  Since the program’s launch in 1995, it is the only associate degree of its kind offered in Ohio. Students can also earn a bachelor’s degree in computer design, animation and game design at Kent State Tuscarawas.

Developed by Kamal Bichara, Ph.D., director of the engineering technology program, the computer design, animation and game design major appeals to students who enjoy combining visual design, art and technology.
