Esports and Gaming Administration
It’s more than a game
From players to programmers, the gaming industry is growing exponentially and needs business-minded leaders with expertise in distribution, research, sales, and marketing. Between 2018 and 2019, the number of jobs in esports nearly doubled – growing a staggering 85%.
Built in partnership with Unity and the International Game Developers Association (IGDA), the Esports & Gaming Administration program builds off of core business courses to provide a solid understanding of the nuances of games and the complexities specific to managing esports teams and leagues.
