Is Shigeru Miyamoto and others staffs at Nintendo are technically Professors?

This is kinda a really serious question, I did managed to finally registered DigiPen Institute of Technology during at Fall 2017 as one of my future University goal before entering Nintendo of America as a dream job. This is kinda unexpected when I just found out during at Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 that I managed taken the some of the classes that I have entered during the year and the college teachers that I took during at the class courses that some of them did mentioned when they did Game Development in the past before becoming teachers at DigiPen Institute of Technology were actually all Professors, I don't think the staffs call them in DigiPen mentioned it to themselves as Doctors nor Mr./Mrs. level, but just Professors. I did took the classes so that I can meet the requirements so that I can graduate in the future and get into Nintendo of America as an Video Game Artist and Creator for one of the Video Game IPs titles (and reviving old Video Games IPs as well) that I came up with my idea. None of you probably took DigiPen Institute of Technology before, but when I took on of the classes that I am working on it. One of the professors did said it to the students that students need to make our work to it into a more professional level and I am working really extremely hard as I can to make alot of improvements on my work that I am focusing on. :posh:

And I just thought of something that bugs me that I don't think nobody have mentioned this nor about it just now. Does anyone have a single clue or found an accurate source if was Shigeru Miyamoto's, Masahiro Sakurai's, and others staffs's at Nintendo Headquarters education level are technically Professors (like Real Professors) or are they considered to be Doctor Level or Mr. (Mrs.) Level? And I do recall correctly that I did remembered watching a movie called Pixels that it did have an actor that was playing Toru Iwatani since the team need to find a way to beat the Alien Pixel version of Pac-Man that the they referred to Toru Iwatani in the movie as "Professor" Toru Iwatani. And this gave me a thought about it. But, does anyone actually know if alot of staffs in Nintendo Headquarters are technically Professors (like Real Professors).

P.S.: I did tried harder to search it in Google, none of the search that I tried to look up qualifies for Shigeru Miyamoto explains if he is really a Professor, Doctor or a Mister Level.

Probably not since they don't work in colleges as the definition for professors is. But the PHD and all the degrees that Miyomoto and the other people who have high levels for Nintendo doesn't make them professors since there is not a college that they teach in.

Wait, what was Shigeru Miyamoto's and the other staff's levels are technically in? Is it just Mr. level or Doctor level?
 
I know this is a different topic, but I'm actually considering Digipen in some unknown future. Ya think I'll be accepted? What's the bar over there? And how's your experience with it so far?

For the record, I have good experience with Maya (I know the difference between good and bad topology, I can UV unwrap), can render a bit, have some experience with Zbrush and Substance Painter, and I know how to draw.
 
In 1976, Miyamoto, then age twenty-four, was a recent art-college graduate, with a degree in industrial design

I couldn't find any details about the degree but I presume it's a Bachelor of Arts. So he would be Mister Shigeru Miyamoto BA. I believe professor is only given to doctors as well.

Fwiw, most doctors in games are PhD (doctor of philosophy) and are research heavy. But they wouldn't have been much of thing when Miyamoto was studying.

If you're looking for a career in game development, most entry level jobs ask for a Bachelor-level degree, though Honours, Masters and PhD help as well. You don't 'need' the degree but it's difficult without one. Having a portfolio of work is often required as well. I got my first games job from networking at a game jam so I'd recommend being a presence in your local community as well. Good luck.
