About This School

Academy of Interactive Entertainment is a private nonprofit institution located in Seattle, Washington with approximately 47 undergraduate students enrolled. The school is moderately selective, accepting approximately 42% of applicants. The average net price after financial aid is $34,626 per year.

Worth considering if you're set on breaking into game development — the tiny enrollment of just 76 students means genuinely hands-on attention, and the median debt at graduation of $12,000 is impressively low for a specialized private school. The concern is the niche focus: this school bets everything on one industry, so if your interests shift or the job market tightens, you have limited flexibility. At $36,609/year net price, make sure you've researched concrete graduate employment outcomes before committing.
