In 2002, DigiPen received national accreditation from the [[Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges|ACCSC]]. DigiPen began offering its first Masters program, a Masters of Science in Computer Science. DigiPen graduated its last classes in its Associate programs, and only offered Undergraduate and Postgraduate programs.

In 2008, DigiPen Institute of Technology opened its campus in Singapore in conjunction with Singapore's [[Economic Development Board]]. Also in 2008, DigiPen's Research & Development arm created an [[Artificial Intelligence|artificial intelligence]] system regarding human behavioral modeling and simulation, titled B-HIVE, for [[The Boeing Company|Boeing]] and their [[Phantom Works]] division. B-HIVE and its associated patents were commended as Boeing's "Supplier Technology of the Year" in 2008.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.digipenresearch.com/clients#boeing |title=Our History {{!}} DigiPen |access-date=2022-01-31 |archive-date=2020-09-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200927012131/https://www.digipenresearch.com/clients#boeing |url-status=live }}</ref>
