industry (such as C#) is a plus. A strong interest and/or experience in
education/teaching are essential.
The ideal
candidate will have a graduate degree in game programming or a related
field. As Champlain College highly values practical experience,
consideration will be given to candidates with a bachelor's degree plus
significant industry accomplishments as measured by years of experience,
published games, and publications/articles. All candidates must have at

related industry and be able to demonstrate a commitment to teaching.
