Virtual Reality Mini-Degree

Virtual reality is becoming a part of our everyday lives. Far from only being used for games, VR is now common in a wide array of industries – including healthcare, education, tourism, real estate, architecture, law enforcement, and the automotive industry (just to name a few). In this multibillion-dollar market, there are over 171 million VR users worldwide, and as demand for VR is projected to grow, so too will the opportunities for developers.

The Virtual Reality Mini-Degree is designed to give you everything you need to build VR games and applications with Unity. You’ll learn by building real, portfolio-worthy projects – including a space station app, a 360° video quiz, a first-person shooter, a platformer game, and more.

Whether your goal is to build VR experiences as a fun hobby, or launch a career in this exciting, fast-growing field, this curriculum will give you everything you need to reach your goals.

Coding basics with C# and Unity
