We will continue working hard to contribute to the innovation in interactive media and its growing employment pipeline,” said Paul Cotnoir, director of Becker’s design programs.

This is the 7th consecutive year that Becker College has been top ranked for game design by the Princeton Review. Becker offers a "unique educational experience" for its game design students, including a new game art concentration as well as 17 new course.

“We built a future-focused interactive media design program in 2005 that garnered recognition in just three short years,” he said. “It just keeps getting better thanks to the great work and talent of our faculty and students,” said Becker College President, Robert E. Johnson

Cotnoir says he and his team constantly work to provide Becker students with learning experiences that mirror the job market, including a live studio atmosphere to build a product that solves a real world problem.
