Rochester Institute of Technology is one of the best places in the world to study game design and launch a career, according to new international rankings from The Princeton Review.
RIT’s game design and development program was ranked fifth at the undergraduate level and 12th at the graduate level on the 2020 list, released today. RIT’s program is housed in the School of Interactive Games and Media (IGM) within the Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences.
“We highly recommend RIT and every one of the schools that made our lists for 2020,” said Robert Franek, Editor-in-Chief for The Princeton Review. “Their faculties are outstanding and their facilities are awesome. Just as impressive: their alumni include many of the video game industry’s most prominent artists, designers, developers and entrepreneurs.”
The Princeton Review chose the schools based on its 2019 survey of 150 institutions in the U.S., Canada and abroad offering game design courses, majors or degree programs. The 50-question survey collected information about the schools’ game design programs in four areas: academics, faculty, technology and career prospects.
The full lists, which name the “Top 50” undergraduate and “Top 25” graduate schools, are posted at Top Game Design Schools 2020. There, users can also get information on The Princeton Review’s methodology for this project and its detailed profiles of the schools with guidance for applicants on their programs, admission requirements and financial aid.
The Princeton Review, one of the nation’s best known educational services companies, worked with PC Gamer to report the 2020 list of best schools for aspiring game developers. The 11th-annual list is published in the issue of PC Gamer magazine that will hit newsstands March 24.
