Online university recognized as one of the top 50 game design institutions

Full Sail University (FSU), an accredited online education provider specializing in the entertainment industry, has announced it was recently named one of the top 50 undergraduate game design schools out of 500 evaluated by The Princeton Review. The evaluation was created in partnership with GamePro Magazine.

The admissions consulting company selected the best game design institutions based on a survey it conducted in 2009-10, which asked students about their favorite game design coursework and degree specializations.

"It is a great honor to be recognized," said Rob Catto, program director of game studies at the university. "This goes to show how much time and dedication goes into building the precise curriculum to teach our students how to prepare for a creative and competitive career in the gaming industry."

Degree options offered by FSU include a bachelor of science in game development, game art and game design. The university also carries several masters degree programs in similar fields of study.

Online education can be a flexible option for those who are looking to earn their degree but find it difficult to attend conventional on-campus classes.
