Game Art & Design at The Art Institute of Philadelphia

Want to be a game designer? It’s an exciting, competitive field! To be a game designer, you need to combine artistic and digital skills with imagination and a fervent passion for creating the next generation of video games. These artists design the game’s content, from animated characters to the game’s environment to the decisions that lead the player to the next challenge.

The video game industry invests millions of dollars annually to compete for the attention of players looking for the next level of action and entertainment. All that competition means real opportunity for talented people who can create the games that capture players’ imaginations.

In The Art Institute of Philadelphia’s Bachelor of Science in Game Art & Design program, you have an opportunity to learn how to plan and devise game rules and mechanics and develop games that can be used in industry-standard engines through every stage of the production pipeline. You can gain an understanding of what it takes to get a game from concept to consumer – the planning, scope, soft skills, problem-solving abilities, deadline management and economics that go into creating a market-ready game.
