Program Highlights
Biola’s game design and interactive media program offers several key advantages:
Industry-Minded Education. Your studies are narrative-driven, reinforced with the technical and artistic expertise necessary for you to be competitive within the game industry.
Professional Development. Every student spends at least 180 hours gaining hands-on experience in a real studio — applying theoretical learning in a professional setting.
Technical Preparation. Expand your portfolio and develop transferable skills by building real games using Unreal Engine.
Culture of Collaboration. Game development is a team effort. From prototyping to playtesting, you’re constantly problem-solving and exchanging feedback.
Faith Integration. Biola develops the whole storyteller, because the stories you tell will be shaped by the person you become. The best stories move people because they grapple with difficult questions that find their ultimate answers in the gospel.
A New Home for Game Design
Located in La Mirada, California, Biola is investing heavily in its creative programs. Watch for the new Snyder School of Cinema and Media Arts — a 53,000-square-foot building that will feature additional resources for game design students, signaling the university’s commitment to the future of interactive media.
