From degrees in video game development to a growing esports team, Houston Christian University weaves video games into students’ lives while upholding their mission of creativity anchored in faith.
BFA in Video Game Design
Offering a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Video Game Design, HCU provides extensive education in art, storytelling, and technology. Students gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge tools and direct knowledge of game creation from inception to launch.

Located in Houston, Texas — one of the most diverse and fastest-growing cities in the country — HCU positions students in a metropolitan area with a growing tech and creative industry presence.
Esports on the Rise
Beyond the classroom, HCU is building a competitive esports program that gives students the opportunity to compete at the collegiate level. It’s part of the university’s broader vision of integrating gaming culture into student life — not as a distraction from faith, but as an extension of it.

For students who want to build games, compete in them, or both — and do it all within a Christ-centered community — Houston Christian University is building something worth watching.
