Toys are an important part of our history and culture. Not only is imaginative play fun, but also as psychologists have shown, it is crucial for the development of such high-level skills as decision-making, socialization, and creativity.

Classes in child psychology and development, marketing, engineering, model making, digital design, computer rendering, packaging, and presentation are also included in the curriculum. Students begin by learning analog skills in conceptual drawing, sculpting, and prototyping, and progress into digital illustration and graphic representation, model making, and rapid prototyping. Faculty and guest mentors are toy and entertainment design professionals. Summer internships give students the opportunity to gain industry experience at many companies including Mattel, Hasbro, Disney, and Spin master. Careers in Toy Design: The toy design industry is a great partner to our students. Guidance from leading industry professionals and the use of state-of-the-art technology ensure that student work meets current professional standards. By the time our students graduate, they have a final portfolio displaying unique talents, innovative ideas, and technical skills across a broad range of toy categories: girls' toys and lifestyle products, vehicles, plush, preschool, boys' toys and lifestyle products, action figures, and games.
