How Can I Find the Best Game Art School for Me?

There are many things to consider when deciding which game art school is the best for your particular needs. First of all you should determine which study format will best suit your personal study style and meet the needs set forth by your schedule.

Should I go with a Campus Based Game Art School or Study Online?
To answer this accurately you really need to honestly evaluate your personal study style. Are you an individual who can stay on track with independent study or do you require more structure for motivation? By studying at an online game art school you can save time, money, and minimize lifestyle changes. The level of recognition for online degrees has come a very long way in the last few years while student satisfaction has sky-rocketed.

Are Regional Colleges or Technical Schools Better Game Art Schools?
What do you want to do with your degree? That is the question you need to answer here. Certification from a recognized technical institute will put you into an entry level position with a wide variety of gaming companies. However, if your interest lies in the area of forging new trails and developing new techniques then you should consider a graduate degree at a regional university.

Some Game Art Schools May Offer Perks
Fabulous programs to watch for are co-op programs and job placements. Co-op programs have 2 components. They have the “in class” portions and “on the job” portions. You go back and forth between experiential learning and course work. Job placement programs really are wonderful programs. In these situations, companies that are familiar with the quality of the graduates produced by that school offer positions to the grads.

No matter which institution you choose for your game art school, be sure to check with the US Department of Education to ensure they are accredited.
