Areas of Focus
Mobile devices have become an integral part of our
lives, perhaps more than we often realize. To put it in
perspective, just think about how disconnected you
felt the last time you forgot your cell phone or tablet
computer at home.
This technology keeps us connected to massive
amounts of information wherever we go, with
customizable applications that provide real-time
data, productivity, and global communication
at the touch of a button. Developers have only
scratched the surface of what mobile devices are
capable of, and companies are looking for talented
programmers and designers to fill the demand for
innovative software.
Through Full Sail’s Mobile Development Bachelor
of Science degree program, you’ll learn the
programming and interactive design skills needed
to create applications and games for the industry’s
most popular formats. This growing market offers
a wide range of creative possibilities, and this
program is designed to prepare you for a career
shaping the future of these platforms.

Design
The versatility of modern mobile devices offers
unlimited potential for engaging consumers with
original content. It’s more than just having a great
idea for an application or game, though; the challenge
comes from being able to maximize the design and
user experience, while also playing to the functionality
of the device it will run on.
In the Mobile Development degree program, you’ll
learn how to strike that balance in dedicated design
courses that teach creative theories in art direction,
user experience, and playability as they relate to
different platforms. These concepts include the
importance of giving your application or game a
strong visual identity and appropriate sense of pacing,
as well as supporting that aesthetic with layout, color
palettes, and audio design.
You’ll put those design theories to work by developing
simple applications that are conceptually strong,
and can engage the imagination of users with their
presentation and interactivity.
Areas of Focus
Usability
How many times have you downloaded an
application, only to find out that the interface is
confusing and unresponsive? Whether you’re using
productivity software or playing a game, there’s
nothing more frustrating than a poor sense of
control.
The Mobile Development degree program
addresses these concerns as they relate to different
components of application design, such as menu
navigation, user input, and access to saved
information and media.
Classes like Mobile User Experience and Immersive
Application Development teach students to fine
tune a program’s input response to each kind of
hardware configuration, including touchscreens
and keypads.
The Mobile Player Experience class addresses the
importance of usability as it relates to different
types of mobile games – where intuitive controls
are as important to the gameplay as the story and
level design.
By mastering the subtleties of the mobile user
experience, you’ll be able to create engaging
software that plays to the unique strengths of
different interactive formats.

Programming
Despite their size, mobile devices are powerful
pieces of hardware capable of handling increasingly
complicated functions. Being able to master
their architecture is key to becoming an effective
software developer, and core classes in the Mobile
Development program teach the same programming
tools that are used to create professional
applications and games.
You’ll be introduced to languages like Java,
Objective C, PHP, MySQL, and XHTML, which are the
basic tools of mobile developers. As you progress
through the degree, you’ll learn increasingly
powerful functions of these languages, which will
be applied to small applications that you design and
code from scratch.
Since portable technology depends heavily on
online interaction, the program also provides an
in-depth study of how to integrate that connectivity
into your software. This is taught in courses that
cover proprietary development tools for popular
consumer products like the iPhone, iPad, and
Android-based devices.
MOBILE DEVELOPMENT
OVERVIEW & OBJECTIVE
Objective
The objective of the Mobile Development Bachelor
of Science degree program is to provide students
with the focused knowledge and understanding
of software design and development, mobile and
web-based applications, and the usability concepts
needed to qualify for entry-level industry positions
as software application designers and developers,
iOS and Android mobile application designers and
developers, entertainment, education, and banking
application programmers, and a variety of other
positions in the mobile and web-based software field.
In addition to technical proficiency and creative
development, your education will help you develop
critical thinking, problem solving, and analytical skills
that contribute to lifelong learning, providing you with
tools to help sustain a long and productive professional
career in the entertainment and media industry.
Overview
The Mobile Development Bachelor of Science
degree program addresses the need for
professional software developers who can create
innovative mobile and web-based applications for
today’s cell phones, tablet computers, and other
portable devices.
As a student in the program you’ll be presented
with a thorough, evolving curriculum that
provides a complete study of the processes
used in professional application production.
You’ll be taught how to locate potential industry
needs, research your user base, design the visual
aesthetics and interactivity of your application,
and use that research to create a comprehensive
software plan.
Technical courses cover the actual production
of that concept, and you’ll learn standard
programming languages like Java, Objective C,
MySQL, and XHTML to develop the engine your
application will run on. You’ll expand on that
architecture by learning how to implement audio
and visual assets, and balance the usability of your
interface – whether it’s a business application or a
game – to create the perfect user experience.
Students also benefit from business and
management courses that cover topics in
marketing, professional communication and
presentation, software copywriting, publishing, and
technical writing. The combination of this material
will help you build a foundation as a well-rounded
software developer capable of working on a variety
of mobile content.
To help you make that transition into your career
after graduation, we’ve also got a team of Career
Development professionals that can help you polish
your interviewing skills and get you ready to enter
the industry. In addition, our Career Development
services and advisors will be available for support
and assistance throughout your career – not just
during your education.
