纽约大学游戏设计MFA Game Design 是开设在Tisch艺术学院下为期两年的游戏设计美术硕士学位，学生学习先进的批判性知识背景下的游戏设计和开发，成为游戏设计师和开发者、艺术家和策展人、评论家和学者。通过第一年的基础知识和高级游戏设计与开发课程的密集学习，第二年将专注于为期一年的论文项目，为进入游戏行业做准备。

SEMESTER ONE

Game Design 1 – the fundamentals of creating meaningful choice, with an emphasis on designing non-digital tabletop and physical games

Game Studio 1 – individually and in groups, students create digital games and learn best practices for a successful creative process

Game Studies 1 – introduction to the scholarship of games and critical theoretical approaches to game design

Games 101 – a history class that spans ancient to contemporary games, with an emphasis on actually playing as many of the games as possible

Code Lab Zero – for students less experienced with programming, this optional mini-class serves as a programming support workshop for Game Studio 1 projects

SEMESTER TWO

Game Studio 2 – students work in groups and spend an entire semester creating a single digital game, allowing you to work on a more ambitious videogame project

Electives – the rest of your schedule is determined entirely by your interests and passions, usually three classes in addition to Game Studio 2

SEMESTERS THREE & FOUR – THE SECOND YEAR

Thesis – this class provides a structured place for you to work on your thesis project, including research and collaboration, as well as faculty support and critique

Survival Skills – this 2-credit class gives your glimpses of what life is like after graduation. You will hear from speakers in indie development, triple A, and other career paths you may not have considered. At the end of this class, you will have a completed career plan and updated resume and portfolio.

Electives – in the fall and in the spring, you will take additional classes from the NYU Game Center or from across NYU, based on your interests
