More information about the survey from the Princeton review:
The Princeton Review chose the schools based on data it collected in its 2019 survey of administrators at 150 institutions that offer game design courses, majors, or degree programs. Surveyed schools were in the U.S., Canada, and abroad.
The 50-question survey broadly covered four areas: academics, faculty, technology, and career prospects. It requested information on everything from the schools’ academic programs and facilities to the starting salaries and professional achievements of game design program graduates. In all, the company analyzed more than 40 survey data points to tally the rankings. Detailed information about The Princeton Review’s methodology for the rankings is accessible here .
