This piece, which is a written version of what was delivered as an extemporaneous talk from notes, offers an overview of how Miami University launched the first (as far as anyone has found records, anyway) academic course on esports and built from that moment in 2016 to now. The campus now offers a seven class, 18 credit hour graduate and undergraduate certificate in Esports Management and is looking to introduce both undergraduate and graduate specialization tracks within their Interactive Media Studies degree and Games and Simulation degree programs in 2020 and beyond. The piece closes with a set of ten practical pieces of advice to anyone looking to develop esports coursework based on Dr. Alexander’s experiences over the last three years.
