Miami University has been named as one of the top Undergraduate Schools for Game Design for 2023 by the Princeton Review. 

Miami’s Games + Simulation program in the Department of Emerging Technology in Business + Design ranks in the top 10 for public institutions and is No. 27 overall. Additionally, the program is ranked second in the state of Ohio.

This is the 14th year for the Princeton Review’s undergraduate game design list.

Schools were selected based on a 2022 survey of administrators at 150 schools in the United States and abroad offering game design courses, majors, or degree programs. Information was collected in the areas of academics, faculty, technology, and career prospects. More than 40 survey data points were analyzed to compile this year’s list.

"The schools have first-rate programs in game design,” Rob Franek, editor-in-chief for the Princeton Review, said in a press release. “Their facilities are state-of-the-art, and their alumni include many of the industry’s most successful artists, designers, developers, and entrepreneurs.”

Miami’s Games + Simulation program prepares students for a career or graduate study in game design, development, 3D modeling, creative development, writing or designing, esports, and games in other industries. Students also are encouraged to take creative risks and to think critically about audiences, narratives, and aesthetics in a program that bridges computer science, engineering, education, communication, art, and business. 

Games + Simulation offers nearly 50 games courses and both a major and a minor.
