The University of North Dakota is starting an esports BA. It looks to me like the program is mostly a combination of existing courses with a few new specialized courses. I worked at UND for many years before my retirement and I have mixed feelings. I understand the logic and the business of esports, but it seems the institution has limited resources and I would have rather the focused more on a struggling program in Instructional Design. I think a better long-term case can be made for IDT.
My biases aside, I do not esports is being offered as a club activity in many high schools and understand that argument for a different kind of high school club.
