Why study game production & management at Becker College?
Becker College has been called “a destination for game designers” by U.S. News and World Report. Becker College has been consistently ranked by The Princeton Review for the past eight years as a top undergraduate school to study game design–it is currently ranked #2 in the world; Becker’s game design and game production & management majors are among the most innovative and best in the nation.
The video game industry represents over $100 billion in worldwide sales, and is expected to grow; surpassing previous projections. This rapid growth has created a high demand for well-trained interactive media designers, who create visual graphics that allow user participation on a variety of electronic media websites, games, cell phone applications, and more.
Students enrolled in the game production and management concentration will work in a real-world studio environment to produce publishable properties prior to graduation.
