Learn StarCraft strategy at the University of Florida

Video game classes at major colleges and universities aren’t particularly new: they can be valuable teaching tools in many cases, depending on the course and the game. Making a single course all about the ins and outs of one particular game however is a little odd, but that’s exactly what professors at the University of Florida are doing with EME2040: 21st Century Skills in StarCraft.

The course will focus on build techniques and strategies, as well as how the skills that you learn playing the game can be applicable in the real world where you may be forced to manage multiple priorities and activities with limited resources. Sound familiar? Don’t rush to enroll just yet though, the course does have a pre-requisite, and is only open to students who have “basic knowledge and experience playing StarCraft.” In other words, no noobs allowed.
