ESports Lab Facilities
The Esports Lab is open 7 days a week from 7am-12am and gives students access to state of the art technology from full motion SimRacing to all major consoles. With a dedicated 10Gb fiber connection to the lab we aim to provide the lowest pings possible for gaming competitions.
With our corporate sponsors we are building pathways to internships in a broad range of studies that will give students real world experience. These internships will include Cybersecurity, Marketing and Business Management just to name a few. UM-Flint is also creating an Esports Management Certificate program to be available soon.
With students involved from all areas the Esports program has been able to connect students in cross study applications. Merging game designers with dance and theater, CIT students with physical therapy students. Cross learning and bringing what is taught in the classroom to practical use.
