对游戏设计专业感兴趣的学生，在关注南加州大学和纽约大学这两所誉满全球的大学之外，相信也一定会关注全美计算机专业最强的卡内基梅隆大学。
课程介绍
卡内基梅隆大学位于美国中部的城市匹兹堡。作为计算机神校，其游戏设计专业也有很浓厚的技术背景。该校于1998年创建了知名的ETC（Entertainment Technology Center）。娱乐技术中心提供两年制的MET学位，该学位是由卡耐基梅隆大学的计算机学院和艺术学院(全美排名前五)共同颁发。现阶段该学位也被视为是最终学位，因为该课程设置灵活，基本是一个基于项目的专业，就读的学生从进入该专业的第一周期就要投入紧张的游戏制作周期当中。第一学期的“建设虚拟世界(Building Virtual World)”项目知名度很高。
在两年的学习中，就读的学生需要经历各种各样不同的项目。在小组项目中，他们以两个星期为周期快速制作游戏原型，两周后打散小组，所有人重新组队，进入下一个两周的开发周期。这样高强度的组队开发训练使他们练就了扎实的基本功，毕业后的学生大都进入了美国的游戏产业，业内的口碑也一直不错。

标准课程下，学校提供了三种学习方案
– Integrated Co-Op: during the second year of study (semesters 3 or 4) students can apply for a semester academic co-op with a company.
– Student-Defined Semester: after the first semester of study, students can apply for one student-defined semester of study in Pittsburgh during which they take four courses.
– Accelerated Master’s Program: students accepted into the ETC through an accelerated master’s program from an ETC-approved undergraduate program complete the first semester curriculum, followed by two project course semesters. (CMU CS / NUS CS)
After the first semester, students in good academic standing can apply to study at ETC-SV in California. ETC students can take specific sets of courses to graduate with a concentration in a distinct area of study (game design, themed entertainment or interactive storytelling). Students can do either a co-op or a student-defined semester, but they cannot do both. Students in an accelerated master’s program are not eligible for co-ops, student-defined semesters or concentrations. The varying routes through the MET enable students to make the most of their educational opportunities while they’re at the ETC. The ETC curriculum balances educational goals, professional development, and engaging experiences; as our students learn, work and play.
