The Princeton Review today announced its top-ten list of the best colleges and universities to attend if you're interested in game design. The University of Southern California took the top spot for both undergraduate and graduate programs. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology was the only other school to have a program in the top five of each list, taking the second and third positions in the undergrad and grad lists, respectively.
We've got the full list of the Princeton Review roundup after the jump, which the publication says it printed after a "comprehensive" survey done during the 2011-2012 academic year at 150 institutions that offered game design curricula. The study took into account faculty credentials and graduates' career achievements, among other things.
