    PhD Programs in Game Design

    Game design uses art, graphic design, writing, and computer programming to create original and unique video game content. Game design may be used to create different forms of entertainment as well as educational programs that can be used in schools or as part of employee training.

    The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
