WINTER PARK, Fla., March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- According to The Princeton Review^®, Full Sail University's undergraduate program in game design studies is one of the top 50 in the nation and its graduate program in game design studies is one of the top 25 in the nation. The education services company known for its school rankings in dozens of categories named Full Sail University to both its lists, Top 25 Graduate Schools for Game Design for 2026 and Top 50 Undergrad Schools for game Design for 2026.

The complete ranking lists are posted on the Princeton Review's company website.

"It's a tremendous honor for Full Sail to once again be named to The Princeton Review's Top Undergrad and Grad School for Game Design rankings," said Garry Jones, president, Full Sail University. "Appearing on both of this year's ranking lists, highlighting the top game design programs in the nation is a testament to the caliber of our curriculum, the expertise of our faculty, the talent of our graduates and the passion for building careers in the gaming industry found within our students."

The Princeton Review's top schools for game design lists are based on more than 40 data points derived from the company's annual survey of administrators at 150+ institutions offering game design courses and/or degrees. The 50-question survey requests information in four areas: academics, faculty, technology, and career prospects.

More than 40 data points from the survey are used to determine the school selections and tally the ranking lists. Information about the survey and ranking list methodology is posted on The Princeton Review website.

"We highly recommend these schools to students considering a career in this exciting field," said Rob Franek, The Princeton Review's Editor-in-Chief. "Their programs in game design are awesome. Their faculties are outstanding. Their alumni include many of the industry's most successful game designers, developers, and entrepreneurs, and their facilities are state-of-the-art."

The Princeton Review developed this ranking category in 2010 with guidance from a national advisory board the company formed to help design the project survey and methodology. Advisory board members included administrators and faculty from respected game design programs, and professionals from some of the top video game companies.
