Esports Degree

An Esports degree will give you the foundation to step into the gaming industry in a variety of ways. UND's Esports bachelor's degree program will set you on the path to success in the Esports field of your choosing.

• Enjoy being in the middle of the competition, working closely with a small team to achieve a goal? Become an athlete or coach and put yourself right in the action.
• Are you more of a big picture person, skilled at organization? Find your place as a general esports manager, graphic designer or marketer on the business side helping put together some of the biggest tournaments in the world. You will also find opportunities in media, such as broadcasting and analysis.
