DigiPen Institute of Technology is a global leader in game development education. As the
first school in the world to offer a bachelor's degree in game development,
DigiPen has advanced the game industry for more than two decades by empowering
students to become world-class programmers, engineers, designers, and artists.
DigiPen students have won more awards at the prestigious Independent Games
Festival than those of any other school, and graduates have gone on to create
ground-breaking games like Valve Software's Portal
series.
Located in Redmond, Washington, a
suburb of Seattle known for its thriving tech industry, DigiPen maintains strong
industry connections that lead to unique opportunities for its students. DigiPen
students have interned at Nintendo on the Wii technology, collaborated with
Microsoft Research on special projects, drawn side by side with professionals
from ArenaNet at DigiPen’s Life Drawing Labs, and listened to lectures from
industry guest speakers from such companies as Pixar, Disney, and Valve.
In addition to DigiPen's
undergraduate and graduate degree programs, the school also offers ProjectFUN
Summer Workshops and online courses for students in grades 5 and higher to
learn about video game development, 3D animation, game design, and robotics. More
information is available at http://www.projectfun.digipen.edu.
In the fall of 2009, DigiPen
launched its first international branch campus in Singapore. Students at
DigiPen’s Singapore campus receive the same rigorous education as their Redmond
counterparts, and will be poised to take advantage of the rapidly growing Asian
digital media sector. For more information about DigiPen Singapore, visit

In the fall of 2011, DigiPen
Europe-Bilbao opened its doors in Spain as part of a joint endeavor with the
Basque Ministry of Education. Like DigiPen Singapore, this second branch campus
aims to drive the growth of the video game and animation industries in both the
Basque Country and throughout Europe. For more information about DigiPen
