Degree Programs
As either a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS) student, 你可以把精力集中在最符合你兴趣和职业抱负的工具和技术上. In either program, you’ll learn important professional skills like self-initiative, effective teamwork, project conceptualization, system documentation and public speaking. You’ll be involved in impactful, real-world projects through courses, capstones, independent work and undergraduate research.
The skills you learn are transferable to many areas beyond VR and AR, including software engineering, game and simulation design, 2D and 3D graphic design, web development, screenwriting, project management, UI/UX, and system evaluation.

John Michael Ulbrich ’22 | B.S. Virtual Reality Design
小班授课可以让你更好地了解你的教授,并让每个学生都有更多的一对一的时间. It’s amazing, so incredibly amazing… and they’re so open-minded. 我曾经写过一份拨款申请全球最大的博彩平台如何做基于无人机的360度摄像, and it got accepted!”
Cole Herndon ’22 | B.S. Virtual Reality Design
Shenandoah University has taught me more about AR/VR than I had ever imagined. With small class sizes, knowledgeable professors, and projects that apply course content as well as foster knowledge, Shenandoah University has allowed me to grow both as a person and in my field. 成为一个只会继续增长的新领域的一部分是一种令人兴奋的感觉,我从全球最大的博彩平台得到的是无价之宝,并将继续与我的余生.”
Orion Patrick Tighe ’22 | B.S. Virtual Reality Design, IT minor
The VR design program is unique to me because of the way it teaches a lot of VR. There is a large focus in the B.S. program on the programming aspect of VR, 主要是关于你如何在Unity(一个内容创建工具)中构建交互和环境。. However, VR项目作为一个整体也涵盖了虚拟现实的许多重要方面, such as immersion, presence, and the sense of being there that comes with wearing a headset.”
Experience Amazing Things
I t’s important to get out of the headset from time to time! We offer exciting opportunities to engage with the real world through trips, research experiences, projects, and more. In past semesters, our students have…
作为与巴勒斯坦阿拉伯裔美国大学(AAUP)合作的一部分,前往以色列和巴勒斯坦. We saw the old city of Jerusalem, visited Hisham’s Palace in Jericho, saw the Dome of the Rock, and rode camels.
作为关注STEM教育和体验设计的全球体验学习之旅的一部分,参观了佛罗里达州的迪士尼乐园和肯尼迪航天中心(KSC). We toured behind the scenes at Disney, participated in astronaut training, and watched a Falcon 9 rocket launch live from Cocoa Beach.
Collected 3D-scan data of World War One artillery systems at the Ft. 李训练支持中心和南北冲突协会靶场在温彻斯特,弗吉尼亚州. We got to 3D scan real artillery shells and range-finding systems, explore a huge warehouse of historical military equipment, and fire a French 75 cannon.
参加了在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的美国历史学家组织会议. 我们展示了伟大的实验,参观了麻省理工学院和哈佛大学,解决了疯狂的密室逃生谜题.
参观费城独立厅,为1787年制宪会议的VR大实验拍摄图像和3d扫描数据.
