Champlain College’s Game Studio Experience has repeatedly earned the spotlight on Vermont Public recently, showcasing the college’s 20-year legacy and alumni success in the game industry. These features confirm what we’ve long known: Champlain’s hands-on approach to education creates industry-ready game developers.
Reporter Bryant Denton explored Champlain’s relationship with Montreal’s game development scene. The piece highlights how students gain experience with major studios like Behavior Interactive and how capstone projects prepare graduates for real-world development. Industry professionals praise Champlain students for their experience “creating a game with different disciplines”—preparation that makes our graduates stand out.
