Universities are launching degrees in esports! On the first week of class, students are playing a first-person shooter video game in new digital studio.
This is their introduction to their degree in esports. Several UK and US schools are launching programs that are aimed at capitalizing on the industry's need for skilled professionals.
One student named Ryan Chapman said that his parents were skeptical about studying esports or competitive multiplayer video gaming.
Esports tournaments have now become a phenomenon and there are even sports events held for them. It has now gone beyond kids playing games in their basements.
As parent, I'm not sure how I would feel about this! What do you think? Would you let this be your child's degree?
