Do you have an interest in esports events and gaming in general? Do you want to back up this passion with credited business acumen?
Esports is a mainstream entertainment and professional industry, and since 2008 the video game industry has been bigger than the music and movie industry combined. By studying esports in a formal educational setting, students can gain the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the industry as coaches, broadcasters, or event managers.
Esports is growing in popularity in Canada. The Canadian esports industry has increased in recent years, with a growing number of players, teams and events.
Alberta, in particular, is well prepared to seize this billion-dollar opportunity and has launched its esports strategy, championed by a provincial esports working group. The industry itself has seen a 23% increase in its contribution to Canada's economy since 2019.
Our Esports Business Management program is designed to give students the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the fast-paced, constantly evolving esports industry. Through our program, students will learn various skills, including competitive strategy, team management, and live production. Our curriculum is designed by industry experts, so you can be sure you're learning the latest and most relevant information.
