• About Esports

    Esports (aka, Electronic Sports), as a group, has quickly developed into one of the most advanced technological industries and one of the largest revenue generators of the decade, bigger than the movie and music industries combined for the past 8 years! There are several opportunities in the public and private sectors, and in the Armed Forces for graduates with the technological skills developed by playing esports.
     
    There are also a multitude of varsity esports teams competing nationally at the collegiate level, including many of the top teams in the DFW Metroplex. All of these teams offer collegiate teams the opportunity to compete for scholarships through their game play. In addition, all of the campuses where esports are played offer scholarships to high school students who seek to pursue degrees in the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts (graphic design), and Math (STEAM), subjects. The skills that students learn in these programs may be applied to public and private-sector careers, as well as careers in the Armed Forces.
