According to NEIT, rankings were devised using surveys of administrators at 150 institutions that have game design throughout the U.S., Canada and abroad. The survey collected information about the schools’ game-design programs’ academics, faculty, technology and career prospects, comprising 40 data points.

Of the winners to make the list, said Robert Franek, Princeton Review editor in chief, “Their alumni include many of the video game industry’s most prominent artists, designers, developers and entrepreneurs.”

Founded in 1940, NEIT is a private, nonprofit technical university with about 3,000 students.
