學校介紹

迪吉彭的宗旨是訓練年輕人才，設計新一代的Donkey Kongs和Mario Brothers的電子遊戲。學校職員說，他們希望造就新一批合格學員，以滿足電子遊戲業越來越多的需求。華盛頓州州長駱家輝在2002年正式承認了這家私立大學。大學每年將招收200餘名bachelor of science學位的學生。美國任天堂為大學提供技術援助、實驗室空間和課程援助。迪吉彭創辦人科邁爾說：“這個地點是世界電腦軟體之都。” 他指出微軟、康帕和Digital等電腦大公司的總部近在咫尺。他說，他之所以選擇學校不附屬任何現有大學，是因為他希望控制學生必須考取的學分數目——比標準大學規定的還高出很多的嚴格的150分左右。每名學生將擁有一台位於公共區域的連線網際網路的電腦。
