ESTIMATED ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS

Assuming that students who responded with either Very Interested or Sign Me Up Right Now will enroll in the new concentrations, then we can make the following projections:

  • 55% of the AMCS majors would select the GDD concentration for the AMCS Program.
  • 27% of the Art majors would select the GDD concentration for the Art Program.

SURVEY COMMENTS

“Good thing to offer [a game development program], not many schools offer that.”

“It sounds like a very fun course to take. I would be interested enough to look into it.”

“I believe that a game development specialization is a great idea. UW-Stout would be a great school for it too.”

“There are many students at my old high school (Glenwood City, WI) who are interested in Game Development.”

“My 14 year old son would be very interested in this.”

“This is my top area of interest.”

“I know many people who want to go into this field but shied away from UW-Stout because of the lack of a program [like this]. They would love to have this program going.”

“Cool.”

“I’m sure many people would find this course interesting…”

“It sounds like a very good idea for a program.”

“Sounds interesting!”

“This is one of the two things I want to do. Animated movies and video games.”

“Do it!”

“My brother would be really interested.”

“I’m not interested but my younger brother and [his] friends would be love it.”

“I have a good friend that is considering Stout in the spring of ’07, that would definitely be interested…”

“Sounds like fun. Hope I can work with the program!”

“I would agree that this program will be popular!”

“Sounds like a great emphasis for an art student. I’m very interested.”
