Master of Fine Arts in Game Design : Invent the future of games!
DePaul’s nationally recognized Master of Fine Arts in Game Design program is intended for creative visionaries intent on producing socially, culturally, and emotionally substantial work. While games are often perceived as pure entertainment, the MFA takes a deeper look, exploring games-as-art as well as games-for-a-purpose. This degree prepares students to advance the frontier of games by exploring emerging theories and applying them to practice. Throughout the program, students will create games that are challenged by peers and faculty in critiques. Graduates will be prepared to invent the future of games and adapt to the ever-changing composition of conventions, tools, and platforms. As the terminal degree in the field of game design, an MFA also opens doors to teaching at the university level or entering an academic tenure-track career.
DePaul’s School of Design is located in the heart of Chicago’s Loop district. Chicago’s thriving games industry offers opportunities for students to form valuable industry connections.
For international students: this is a STEM-designated program, which can qualify you to extend your post-graduation stay in the United States.
