Gamasutra brings word that the Academy of Interactive Entertainment (known locally for its Canberra campus) is expanding to a new campus in Seattle’s Space Needle.
“The AIE will provide students with real world skills that employers look for in grads that are applying for a job in game development as a programmer, artist, or engineer,” said Dr. Christopher Erhardt, head of the new Seattle campus.
“We are offering 2-year advanced diplomas and 1-year certificates in game development targeted at the casual and social game sectors as well as focused courses in Screen & Media, Computer animation and digital post production F/X for students interested in getting into film animation.”
The AIE’s Seattle Center campus will open in June.
