About

Nearly 3 billion people play games worldwide, part of a $159 billion industry. But gaming isn’t only for entertainment. Becker students are also deeply involved in creating what we call serious games — for academic instruction, public education, or professional training. Becker School of Design & Technology students have designed games to simulate emergency room procedures for medical students and to coach elementary school students on how to avoid opioid use.

As the newest addition to Clark’s academic program, the Becker School of Design & Technology offers the students potential for an amplified and energized academic experience that will inspire them to embrace emerging opportunities in the 21st-century economy.

“We want our students to be leaders in the game industry because that’s how they’re going to change the industry. And if they change the game industry, they can change the world.”
