Thursday, Mar 26, 2026

The NYU Game Center is proud to announce that our Undergraduate and Graduate programs have been given the number 1 spot on the 2026 Princeton Review!

From PR Newswire:

 The Princeton Review®—the education company known for its tutoring, test-prep services, and annual school rankings in dozens of categories— issued its lists of the undergraduate and graduate Top Game Design Schools for 2026, a resource the company has researched and reported since 2009.
New York University earned the #1 spot on both ranking lists for 2026. It is #1 on the Top Undergraduate Schools for Game Design list (up from #2 in 2025) and #1 on the Top Graduate Schools for Game Design list (for the second consecutive year). NYU—which runs its undergraduate and graduate game design programs at its Brooklyn-based NYU Game Center—has been on one or both of the ranking lists annually since 2013.

We are thrilled to have been given this spot and want to thank our faculty, adjuncts, staff, students, and alumni for helping the NYU Game Center continute to be one of the best game design programs!
