EAE is in the process of building major new program strengths in both teaching and research/creative scholarship. We are expanding our course offerings to the Utah Asia Campus and are excited to engage students at UAC in the process of changing the world through games. If you are interested in joining us to create ideas that advance our understanding of games, to share those ideas with our students, our community, and society, and to apply those ideas to change society for the better, we strongly encourage you to apply. The Entertainment Arts and Engineering Program is committed to recruiting, welcoming, and supporting a diverse community of undergrad and graduate students, postdocs, scientists, staff, and faculty (see https://games.utah.edu/equity-diversity-inclusion/ for EAE’s ongoing activities to advance EDI in our community).
