Hey future game artists, prepare to unleash your creative genius. In a fantastical realm teeming with adventure, a Cathartic Dragon and a Bored Knight team up for an unconventional quest. The Cathartic Dragon, with a penchant for sarcasm and self-preservation, challenges the knight’s preconceived notions of dragon-slaying. Meanwhile, the Bored Knight, weary of battle, dreams of designing their own video game instead. At University of Silicon Valley (USV), one of California’s Top Game Design schools, we’ll take you on an epic journey through hands-on, collaborative adventures. With real-world education, industry mentors, and a cool community vibe, we’ll turn your gaming, audio, and animation passions into life-changing opportunities.

In today's competitive career environment, a successful digital media artist needs a thorough understanding of the entire production pipeline, the ability to collaborate effectively with teammates and to be a problem solver.
The Digital Audio Technology degree program at Cogswell College prepares students to produce music for distribution, develop audio software tools and products, collaborate as audio specialists in game projects and create soundtracks for film and animation projects. The goal of the program is to raise individual artistic production to a professional level while providing opportunities for students to build a portfolio of client-oriented projects to maximize opportunities in the audio, video game and film industries. The curriculum includes Studio Production, Sound Synthesis, Soundtrack Production, Audio Mastering, Audio Software Development (for Audio Software Development & Engineering majors) and Music Theory and Composition (for Audio & Music Production majors). Cogswell has several studios where students get hands-on experience with industry standard software programs such as Pro Tools, Logic, Reason, PureData, Adobe Audition, Audacity as well as FMOD and Wwise for game integration. The studios also contain equipment such as an 8 channel Millenia Pre Amp, Pro Tools HDX 192 audio interface, and a wide range of synthesizers including the rare Crumar Spirit (one of the 260 units ever built), the Ensoniq Fizmo, and the coveted Yamaha CS-60. Our gear also includes Neumann, Mojave Audio, AKG, Focusrite, CAD, Sennheiser, Shure and Crown microphones. More info: http://www.cogswell.edu/programs/digital-audio-technology.php
