With the growth of eSports across colleges and universities, comes opportunities to develop both academic and extracurricular programs related to competitive gaming. Institutions are starting to offer classes and degrees in eSports and related fields. Gaming and eSports courses are offered within engineering, business, communications, and computer design departments. The thought is not to filter students to play professionally but to provide them with the knowledge to enter into the eSports field from any angle. For example, many sports management majors are athletic coaches, trainers, agents, and broadcasters.

As eSports clubs and varsity teams become more popular, prospective students will take into account which institutions offer these programs when deciding where to attend college. Institutions should strongly consider if an eSports program is a right fit for their campus culture and to stay competitive.
