The Princeton Review has selected the best undergraduate and graduate institutions in the United States and Canada where you can study video game design. We ranked the top 15 undergraduate and top 15 graduate programs. We gave another 20 outstanding programs “Honorable Mention” designations, saluting 50 schools in all that we highly recommend for game design study.
We chose these programs based on a 2012 survey of administrators at institutions offering game design coursework and/or degrees. Selection criteria included the quality of the curriculum, faculty credentials, facilities and infrastructure as well as data on scholarships, financial aid and career opportunities.
