University of Utah an incubator for graphic arts genius

The Entertainment Arts and Engineering program at the University of Utah, ranked No. 1 among public universities in the U.S. for game development by the Princeton Review, and No. 3 among all universities nationwide.

Thanks to the success of the University of Utah's EAE program, the school has been able to bolster the facilities available to students and faculty, including the grand opening Wednesday of a state-of-the-art game lab located in the Merrill Engineering Building. The facility is filled with “gaming rigs” — powerful computers with the latest graphics processors, as well as a sound recording studio and games stations. Deseret News
