What made you choose Mason's Computer Game Design program?  My brother attended GMU before me, and it was relatively close to friends and family so it seemed like a good fit.

Kayla decided to go to George Mason because it is one of the few schools, at the time, that offered Computer Game Design. She appreciated the program showing her all aspects of game production, so that if she wanted to go into business for herself and create her own studio she could since she took a class in every division.

What made you choose Mason's Computer Game Design program? After high school I wanted to pursue animation as a career. After 2 years at community college I saw that Mason had a new Game Design program. I hoped this program would provide me the opportunity to pursue animation and digital arts as a career.

Erinn Fecteau graduated from Mason's Computer Game Design program in 2017. She has been hooked on gaming since she first got her hands on a Gameboy Color and a copy of Pokemon Blue. When thinking about what she wanted to do when she was older, Erinn couldn't think of a better fit than game design. The Mason program's robust, multidisciplinary approach to game design was exactly what she was looking for.
