The IGDA believes strongly in the value of education and self-improvement, that is why we are pleased to highlight our partner, DeVry University. 

DeVry University dates back 85+ years – with a rich history rooted in innovation and driven by modern technology. Their founder, Dr. Herman DeVry, was the inventor of the first portable motion picture projector. He identified a need for tech-empowered, career-focused education, and established DeVry on the belief that visual learning would not only advance education – but change the world.

DeVry’s mission is to foster learning through high-quality, career-oriented education that integrates technology, business and the arts. This fits well with IGDA’s own mission to support and empower game developers around the world in achieving fulfilling and sustainable careers, especially as game development so strongly incorporates technology and art. 

Game development careers require continuous learning and skill growth. In this competitive industry, you will shine by demonstrating your desire to improve and the management skills required to lead yourself and your team.

 DeVry offers hands-on undergraduate and graduate programs both online and on campus to meet the needs of their diverse student population.
