Learn how to take game ideas from concept to creation.
It’s time to do more than play. It’s time to create.
When you play video games, you can’t help but consider the behind-the-scenes work involved in every aspect--the characters, the game environment, the level progression, to name a few. You enjoy the game play and at the same time wonder if you could design it better. Maybe you’ve already started dabbling in making your own games or modifying existing ones.
Earning a Game Art & Design degree won’t be easy. But if you’re committed to putting in the time and effort it takes, The Art Institutes can provide the hands-on education, experience, and guidance you need to turn your passion into a career in the competitive gaming industry.

You’ll start with the principles of design and gaming.
