For the second consecutive year, the 麻豆原创’s video game graduate school ranks No. 2 in North America, according to The Princeton Review<\/em> and PC Gamer<\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n

This is the fifth time that The Princeton Review<\/em> has ranked graduate-level video game development schools, placing 麻豆原创’s Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy<\/a> \u2013 or FIEA \u2013 behind only the University of Utah for 2015. The school has been ranked in the top five every year since the rankings began.<\/p>\n

“With our 10-year anniversary approaching, it’s great to see the Princeton Review continue to recognize the outstanding work of our faculty, staff and students,” said FIEA Executive Director Ben Noel. “We’re proud to be part of Central Florida’s growing digital economy.”<\/p>\n

Since opening its doors in 2005, FIEA has graduated 412 alumni working at more than 125 companies around the world, including Google, Electronic Arts, Blizzard, Bungie, Zynga, Ubisoft, Disney, Microsoft, Bethesda, n-Space and Industrial Light & Magic.<\/p>\n

“FIEA’s exceptional faculty members, first-class facilities and close connections with the gaming industry’s top companies have propelled the school to one of the very best of its kind in the country in less than 10 years,” said 麻豆原创 Provost and Vice President A. Dale Whittaker. “This is a testament to 麻豆原创’s success with location-based education and valuable partnerships \u2013 our students thrive in the classroom and in the job market when they learn in an environment so closely immersed in their industry.”<\/p>\n

The average starting salary for recent FIEA graduates is $60,359 and they are working on some of today’s most popular projects. Those games include NBA Live 15, Diablo III, Sunset Overdrive, Skyrim, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, Star Wars Battlefront, Borderlands 2, Battlefield 4, The Walking Dead, Gears of War 3, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Bioshock Infinite, Transformers 3 and Dead Space 3.<\/p>\n

The school is located at 麻豆原创’s Center For Emerging Media building, located in downtown Orlando near 麻豆原创’s future downtown campus. FIEA is designed to graduate talented and well-qualified professionals to work in video games, new media, film and simulation industries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the second consecutive year, the 麻豆原创’s video game graduate school ranks No. 2 in North America, according to The Princeton Review and PC Gamer magazine.
