This intensive course introduced students to the fundamentals of 3D level design for 1st person shooters. Visit the Cogswell College website or better yet, arrange a tour of our campus and see where you can begin your career in video games. -Michael Martin, Dean of the College In Spring, we will offer an Advanced Level Design course.
