The 30-credit master's program in game design and development (or 31 credits for the Game Programming concentration) mirrors professional development workflows, culminating in students creating their own original game. Beginning each fall, this intensive year-long program replicates industry conditions while enhancing expertise in cutting-edge design principles, agile methodologies, user experience, and beyond. Building upon Bradley's acclaimed undergraduate game design program, students join a cohort structured as a cross-functional development team, gaining continuous input from active AAA game industry experts.

Participants establish their own development company during the program and retain full ownership rights to their game upon graduation. Beyond the potential to license your creation to major publishers, the degree and professional portfolio you develop will give you a competitive edge in this demanding field.
