Game Design MFA

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.
