TransitionalProgram
For seniors, 2nd year masters students, and recent grads that found us a little too late, the transitional program is a year-long program that helps students fill in the gaps between what they studied in school and a career in games.
Start Here, Go Anywhere
This is also a common route for students who are looking to enter a graduate program or competitive second bachelors degree program related to a different discipline than the one they studied in undergrad, to help build a portfolio for college applications.
Two Paths
​
Students who pursued a degree in a relevant area or have prior experience can join Studio Aspen, our AAA simulation alongside our fellows.
Students with no prior experience who are thinking about switching their career work in small groups to create 5 games over the course of the year.
Professional Development
Build your career toolkit with workshops on resume writing, social media presence, networking, and group leadership - to help you land that internship or job.
Eligibility & Requirements
Seniors and recent grads (Spring 2023 or later) from any college or university with an active EGD membership.
​
6 hours a week, including 85% attendance rate on Friday from 5:30-9PM EST
(Religious accommodations granted)
​​​
In-person attendance is required for anyone residing within a 25 mile radius of City College. Remote participants are considered in other circumstances.
Although I did not come from a formal game development education, my background in Computer Science and Interaction Design helped me learn quickly. I gained experience through completing a game development internship at Morphbots, participating in numerous game jams, and undertaking personal projects.
