We want to provide experiential learning opportunities at every corner of our program. As we continue to grow and establish relationships in and outside of the university, travel abroad programs represent the fact esports is a global phenomenon. No matter which continent, there is a core gaming and esports culture that differs in each region. We're building up to provide as much variety for learning about esports across the globe while earning college credit.
