This program offers a unique blend of college-level esports education with an authentic UC Berkeley campus experience, including hands-on projects and real-world industry insights.
The UC Berkeley E-Sports: Pre-College Program offers high school students an immersive, college-level experience in the rapidly growing esports industry. Participants gain real-world knowledge and practical skills through hands-on projects, exploring various facets of competitive gaming, including strategy, performance, and business. The program aims to provide a solid understanding and knowledge base that will benefit students in college and beyond. Students will have the opportunity to apply their newly gained skills to a hands-on project, making a real-world impact. The program also provides a taste of college life by residing on the UC Berkeley campus.
The curriculum includes five 3-hour classes per week during the first week and four 3-hour classes during the second week, with Wednesday afternoons dedicated to additional academic time, excursions, and speakers. Students will engage in diverse activities and excursions around the Bay Area, connecting directly to their course of study and offering insights into the field. College readiness workshops covering confidence, finance, leadership, and admissions are also part of the program, along with the 'True You' program designed for personal growth and self-discovery.
A typical day includes a 3-hour academic course in the morning, followed by recreational activities or academic excursions in the afternoon, such as field trips connecting to the course or exploring local attractions.
This program is best for high school students aged 14-18 who are interested in exploring the esports industry, gaining hands-on experience, and experiencing college life at UC Berkeley.
