The Rankings

According to the Princeton Review, the newest rankings are based on a survey of 150 institutions in the U.S., Canada, and abroad offering game design degree programs or courses.

The 40-question survey gathered data on everything from a school’s game design academic offerings and lab facilities to their graduate starting salaries and career achievements.

More than 40 data points in four areas (academics, faculty, technology, and career) were analyzed to tally the lists.

The annual list assists prospective students and parents in selecting programs best suited to their needs and interest.
