Highlights

  • As the only program of its kind in the United States, the Master of Arts in Game Design drives students to stretch their capacities as designers, developers, consumers, and game administrators and apply that to their unique field of interest. Students bring to the program their own experiences-whether in politics, science, art, history, marketing, or international studies-and can choose from multidisciplinary courses across our schools of communication, business, and arts
  • Through game design theory, development, and design, the students bring about behavior change, expand awareness, and make a difference. With award-winning faculty and real-world experience, this program prepares students for a career in all facets of game design, play theory, and engagement strategies. Students leave with the skills and experience they need to succeed in applying game design to non-game contexts
  • The program will develop students' intellectual capacity as designers, developers, consumers, and game administrators. Beyond traditional game design and development, students learn to tailor play design for distinct education purposes
  • Required courses such as Games and Rhetoric and Games and Society take students beyond the fundamentals of building a great game. With their 9 credit hours of electives, students are able to choose from a variety of concentrations or create one of their own
