NJIT Named Best in New Jersey for Game Design

New Jersey Institute of Technology has been selected as one of the best schools with game design programs in the U.S., according to industry website Animation Career Review. 

NJIT’s game design program ranks No. 1 in New Jersey and top-25 in the East Coast. Animation Career Review’s ranking follows The Princeton Review’s game design accolade for NJIT.

The criteria Animation Career Review uses for the game design rankings consists of the following: academic reputation, employment data, admission selectivity, depth and breadth of the program, return on tuition investment, graduation rate and retention rate. 

Game development curriculum equips students with versatile skills applicable beyond video games, including fields like education, health care, marketing and software development, by leveraging abilities in problem-solving, user experience and interactive design.

NJIT teaches game design at two of its academic colleges: the Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) and the Hillier College of Architecture and Design (HCAD). YWCC’s curriculum focuses on programming and production where students can earn a B.S. in information technology or computer science. The HCAD track explores game design leading to a B.A. in digital design.
