Applicants are judged upon personal need, enthusiasm for the program and the games industry, and their drive to make the world a better place. While we try to accept as many students as we can each cohort, we cannot guarantee that all students will be accepted.
IGA Level 3 Cohort 9 Classes are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30pm EST - 8:30pm EST for 12 total weeks.
*These dates/times may change* We expect most of our students to have never worked a professional job in the games industry before, but those with experience are still welcome in Level 3. The ticket price of the program is $2400 with a limited number of full ride scholarships available. Payment plans are available to all. **This program is 18+**
