DIGIPEN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
ACADEMICS
DigiPen’s degree programs give you a comprehensive understanding of the academic fundamentals of your field while preparing you for the real-world challenges of the professional creative industries.
As you build upon your foundational knowledge through regular coursework, you’ll also apply those same theories and lessons from the classroom toward a series of increasingly intensive projects. You’ll learn how to plan and execute a large creative vision from start to finish, solving problems at every step of the way while collaborating with students from other backgrounds and disciplines.
By the time you complete your degree, you’ll be equipped with a depth of knowledge and wealth of hands-on experience that will jump-start your career and allow you to meaningfully contribute to your team from day one on the job.
I’m always working to increase collaboration so it doesn’t feel like I do my thing for the institution and you do your thing for the institution — it feels like we are the institution. I love it when someone is talking about DigiPen and they say ‘we.’”
