Bloomfield College Earns Accolades For Its Game Design Program

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — For the fourth year in a row, The Princeton Review has named Bloomfield College a top undergraduate school for Game Design. The accolade was announced in its 13th annual ranking list, “Top 50 Undergraduate Schools for Game Design for 2022.”

Bloomfield College was ranked highest in New Jersey and 37th nationally among undergraduate schools offering programs in game design.

The Princeton Review chose the schools based on its 2021 survey of administrators at 150 institutions across the U.S. and abroad offering game design courses, majors, or degree programs. The survey collected information in four areas: academics, faculty, technology, and career prospects. The company analyzed more than 40 survey data points to tally the rankings. Information on the methodology may be viewed on The Princeton Review website.

According to a news release from the college:

“Bloomfield College’s Bachelor of Arts in Game Design within the Creative Arts & Technology Division is a practice-orientated program focused on core principles, concepts, methodologies and skills that are reinforced through the creation of hands-on projects. Many courses also involve students working on collaborative team-based projects that mimic real-world game development environments. Theoretical knowledge and practical methods converge within these environments to provide students with the experience they need to truly understand and overcome the complexities involved in making games.”

“The supportive and inspiring community we have at CAT makes this recognition possible,” said Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Game Development GJ Lee.

“Our dedicated faculty and staff collaborate to enrich our program and challenge our students,” Lee said. “We’re grateful and acknowledge their hard work.”
