BECOME A GAME CHANGER

SMU Guildhall was created by industry veterans to prepare the next generation of game developers. We prepare our students for successful careers like:

• Creating the next big console, PC, mobile, or VR/AR/MR game
• Developing gamification and tech platforms for education, business, medicine, or military
• UX, motion capture, animation, marketing, interactive media, or digital art and design
• And more!
• The Guildhall was established in 2003 as a premier graduate-level video game development education program in the United States. It was created at the request of the game development industry to train its future leaders.

With master’s degree and professional certificate programs in game development, we turn a passion for gaming into a viable and fulfilling career.
