Only a matter of time until there's also a degree in Living in Mom's Basement.

Cry more, olds.

My surprise is that this is a degree, not just a team sport. There isn't a degree in football or basketball, is there? Game design makes perfect sense as a degree.

Here's Miami's description of their program. Seems like it has mostly to do with training in how to run and market tournaments. Since that school is a complete non-entity in engineering or computer science, I guess that makes sense.

An Esports Management program turns your passion for gaming into an exciting career. Miami University’s Master of Esports Management degree — available both online and hybrid — gives you a solid foundation in all esports functions, including tournament and facility management, branding/marketing, sponsorship, team management, performance psychology and coaching, recruiting, finance, business models, media rights/legal broadcasting and more. In addition to the two semesters of online coursework, our Esports Management program features a brief in-person residency where students gain hands-on experience assisting with a top-ranked tournament organization.

Isn’t that University College?

OK, that got a chuckle out of me. But I officially can’t be a youngs anymore.
