MCC and SCC Partner to Expand Game Development

Published on Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025

Montgomery Community College (MCC) and Stanly Community College (SCC) have signed an articulation agreement to expand educational opportunities for students pursuing careers in game development. This partnership allows students who complete MCC’s IT-Game and Simulation Certificate Program to seamlessly transfer their credits toward an associate in applied science degree in simulation and game development at SCC.

Agreements like this provide students a clear pathway to further their education and career prospects in the dynamic and growing game development field. By enabling MCC students to transition smoothly into SCC’s program, the collaboration supports workforce development and enhances educational access for students in the region.

SCC President, Dr. John Enamait, and MCC President, Dr. Chad Bledsoe, signed the agreement, highlighting the shared commitment of both institutions to expanding educational opportunities. “This collaboration demonstrates our dedication to growing programs that serve our communities and support workforce development in emerging industries,” stated Bledsoe.

“We are excited to partner with Stanly Community College to expand opportunities for students in simulation and game development,” said Stephanie Weishner, Department Chair of Computer Information Technology at MCC. “This agreement helps students develop foundational skills needed for careers or additional degrees in game design, programming or interactive media.”
