Entertainment Technology Center!
Before going to the main site, here are a few answers
to some commonly asked questions:
| • | We offer a 2-year, "Masters of Entertainment Technology: (MET) degree. This is a professional masters degree, intended to prepare people for jobs where they might make video games, theme park attractions, museum exhibits, animated films, interactive internet experiences, and lots of other things. We do not have an undergraduate degree, or a Ph.D. program, at this time. | ||||||||||||
| • | Graduates of our program have gone
on to work at places including:
We work hard to provide opportunities for our students, both for summer internships and full-time jobs. We currently have a commitment from Electronic Arts to offer internships to at least ten of our students each year. |
||||||||||||
| • | Applications are due January 31, and we intend to notify applications whether they have been accepted by April 15th. | ||||||||||||
| • | We are looking for students who have talent, passion, and a desire to work in interdisciplinary teams. We are very open-minded about what your talent might be; we admit students with backgrounds in art, computer science, design, drama, engineering, HCI, psychology, writing, and on and on and on. You do not need you to be talented in more than one area, although we certainly won't object if you are! Our application form is available on this website. | ||||||||||||
| • | Each year, we admit our incoming class to be roughly 1/2 techies (CS, Engineering, etc.), and 1/2 non-techies. Of course, some of our applicants are "hybrids," and/or defy easy categorization. Which is great! Many of our applicants come straight from college, and many come to us after having been in workforce. We are a highly varied bunch - the one thing people have in common is a passion for working in interdisciplinary teams. |
So there you have it --- We hoped that helped!
