ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Digital Animation & Visual Effects (DAVE) School is now offering seven new concentration tracks as part of its online Bachelor's Degree in Production Programming. Registration deadline is March 10.
The tracks further expand the DAVE School's diverse academic catalogue, which includes a four-year degree in Motion Graphics and diploma programs in Visual Effects and Game Production. The new concentrations were created to meet some of the most pressing labor demands in the video game and film production industries as well as in many other professional fields like healthcare, defense and aeronautics, which rely heavily in visual effects and animation technologies.
"The new Production Programming concentration tracks were created to satisfy emerging industry needs," said David Sushil, the program's lead instructor.

Students enrolled in Production Programming will be able to choose among the following tracks:
- Game Design – Will teach students how to conceptualize games, craft gameplay mechanics, develop stories, visualize a look, support a team with documentation, test, and evaluate product outcomes.
- Graphics Programming – Will train students to develop visual effects in the video and film industries. Among other things, students will become well-versed in techniques like procedural modeling, which enables virtual environment and textures through code.
- Mixed Reality Development – Will prepare students to build virtual and augmented reality applications, including the development of games and mobile apps.
- Mobile App Development – Will teach students how to use industry standard tools and languages. This will provide a strong foundation from which to create apps for mobile devices like phones, tablets and wearables.
