DigiPen Academy: Pre-College Summer Programs

Featured

DigiPen Academy's online summer courses offer four-week programs in Art & Animation, Game Design, Video Game Programming, and Music & Sound Design. These courses introduce students to college-level coursework and industry-relevant skills. Over four weeks, students delve into the fundamentals of their chosen field, guided by expert instructors in morning sessions focused on core concepts and hands-on project labs in the afternoons.

DigiPen Academy is the K-12 sibling of DigiPen Institute of Technology, which has been turning talented college-age students into exceptional engineers, artists, designers and video game creators for more than three decades. During this four-week program students can expect to receive a strong foundation in the academic fundamentals in their chosen track in Game Design, Art & Animation, Game Programming or Music & Sound Design for Games. Please visit our website for a detailed description of each program offered.

Students receive grades for their Pre-College classes, plus a final transcript to include in their application to DigiPen. Any student who completes the Pre-College Program and matriculates to DigiPen Institute of Technology within three years will receive a credit equal to the Pre-College Program tuition to apply toward their first-semester tuition as a freshman.
