Laguna College of Art + Design (LCAD) offers a two-year MFA program in Art of Game Design, focusing on the design and development processes that underpin games as a creative practice. The program emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach that connects theory with practical creation, acknowledging games as meaningful products within a global economy and as reflections of broader society. Based in Laguna Beach, California, the institution situates itself within the computer games and applied arts landscape, aiming to bridge academic inquiry with professional game design practice for its students. LCAD operates as a small, specialized college with a dedicated focus on art and design education. Its recent activities include notable leadership changes and campus development projects, reflecting ongoing institutional growth and expansion. The school engages with local and broader communities through partnerships and public programming, and it maintains a broader portfolio of programs in art and design beyond the MFA in game design.
