Our academic partnerships with major Esports and gaming entities such as Twitch and HyperX ensure that you’re at the cutting edge of industry trends and learning. Since new technologies and games are always just around the corner, the industry requires people who can think critically and anticipate future cultural, business, and technological changes and opportunities.

Our Esports Club has more than 200 members, and our Esports varsity team competes across most major Esports titles.

Stoking that competitive spirit even more, we created a 1,300 square-foot Esports training and competition center named The Stable. The Stable is a focal point in our brand new $35 million Bergami Center for Science, Technology, and Innovation. This center, which houses cutting edge gaming stations equipped with powerful Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics cards, 240hz monitors and HyperX peripherals, is used by the university's varsity Esports teams and Esports club.

The Stable gives you the chance to be part of a growing community of gamers and have access to a state-of-the-art facility that will host Esports competitions, enable you to compete at the highest level, and gain hands-on technical and operational experience.

Esports is expected to continue its massive growth rate. According to the Global Institute of Sport, the worldwide revenue of the Esports market is projected to reach $4.8 billion in 2025 with an annual growth rate of 5.56%. They predict that by 2029, Esports will have 896 million users worldwide.
