August 19 marks not just the first day of the fall semester for the College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts<\/a>, but also the college\u2019s first day of classes in Fort Worth.

Dean Tim McLaughlin<\/a> was on hand this morning at the Texas A&M-Fort Worth<\/a> campus to greet students who are taking classes toward their Bachelor of Science in Visualization degrees<\/a>. David Parrish<\/a>, director of the College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts in Fort Worth, is overseeing the expansion of the program there.

The initial focus of coursework in Fort Worth is on game design and development and virtual production. Eventually, course offerings will encompass most of the degree programs in the college.

And there\u2019s more in the works for Fort Worth this fall, including the debut of a virtual production stage<\/a> as part of the college\u2019s emerging Virtual Production Institute<\/a>. The stage will be in the Winfield Place building, where the college is sharing space with gaming company ProbablyMonsters<\/a>. A stage will also open this semester on main campus in the Langford Architecture Center, Building A.

\u201cIt was a momentous day for PVFA,\u201d McLaughlin said. \u201cThe civic leaders and business community have been so supportive of our expansion there, and we\u2019re excited that our presence will continue to grow. Thanks to the Texas A&M University School of Law<\/a>, Dean Bobby Ahdieh, and Terri Helge, associate dean for academic affairs, for their assistance in making this a successful launch for the College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts in Fort Worth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
