What are the academics like at DigiPen Institute of Technology?

Gwendolyn

The academics are very intense. Across all programs, we tend to have larger workloads than most school. As long as you're serious about it, you can pull through. The training here is very serious.

The programs are all very different. Being in the BAMSD program, I don't take coding classes, most types of math, or creative writing classes. I'm focused almost solely on learning recording techniques, use of middleware (such as FMOD, wWise, etc), music theory and history, etc. This program will be as tough as you make it though since you can join about as many teams as you can handle, though I'd recommend capping yourself at five because it will get crazy during mid-terms and finals. Prepare for no sleep!

classes are challenging but interesting.
