And to add one more consideration… some colleges allow students to design their own degrees. So if there is a school with a strong esports team but no major (only a minor), it may be worth a call to see if he can design his own esports degree using the curriculum from another school as a general guideline.
These are the requirements for a BBA in Esports at Shenandoah Univ (one of the schools on your list). This should be possible to piece together at most any school with an esports minor/concentration and business coursework.
Course Requirements
The Bachelor of Business Administration degree requires students to complete 30 credit hours of general education coursework, 42 credit hours of business-specific coursework and 24 non-business elective courses.
