Working With Industry
The Guildhall as SMU curriculum was co-designed by Southern Methodist University and some of the industry's most influential leaders and legends. This original plan is kept relevant through a continual process of evaluation and improvement.
This evaluation process is based on feedback from the game industry, faculty, and students. Keeping our values in sync with educators and game industry professionals has established SMU as the foremost learning environment for future professionals and leaders in the game industry.
Recently, the video game industry and its technology partners have come to realize the important role The Guildhall at SMU can play in adapting new technologies and development practices in video game production. From special “tiger team” research projects to master’s degree thesis, our program has become a living laboratory for video game development and technology transfer.
If you are interested in discussing a possible research project with us, please contact Ron Jenkins at jenkinsr@smu.edu.
