Project Description

MFA Area of Study
Game Development
The MFA in Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication fosters collaboration across disciplines, blending art, technology, humanists, scientists, roboticists, programmers, designers, and innovators. Students in the Game Development program study the structure, content, and design of games and engage in game design practices suitable for academic, experimental, independent, and commercial applications.
ATEC is not currently accepting applications to the MFA Game Development program. Applicants with an interest in Game Development are encouraged to review the other areas of study to evaluate how they might intersect with their interests.
