Brookdale Launches New Esports Production & Management Degree Program

Competitive gaming is no longer just about the players on the screen. Behind every successful esports event is a team of professionals managing live broadcasts, coordinating tournaments, producing engaging content, and ensuring every technical detail runs seamlessly. Brookdale Community College’s new Esports Production & Management Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree prepares students for those exciting behind-the-scenes careers in one of the fastest-growing industries in entertainment.

Designed for students interested in technology, media production, broadcasting, event management, and esports, the program combines classroom instruction with extensive hands-on experience in Brookdale’s state-of-the-art Esports Arena.

Students will learn how to produce live esports broadcasts using professional video, audio, lighting, and streaming technology while gaining experience directing productions and creating content for digital platforms. The curriculum also focuses on the technical and logistical side of esports, teaching students how to manage tournaments, operate broadcast systems, oversee game servers, coordinate production crews, and support large-scale live events.

Beyond the technical skills, the program introduces students to the business of esports. They will explore the industry’s culture, career opportunities, ethical practices, audience engagement strategies, and the production techniques that shape today’s competitive gaming events and online communities.

Graduates will leave the program with a professional portfolio demonstrating their creative, technical, production, and teamwork skills, preparing them for careers in esports production, live-event management, broadcasting, multimedia production, streaming, and the broader entertainment industry, as well as opportunities for continued education.

Brookdale’s Esports Arena provides an ideal learning environment where students can gain practical experience using professional equipment while working on live productions and campus events. This immersive approach allows students to build the confidence and skills employers are seeking in today’s rapidly evolving media landscape.

As esports continues to expand worldwide, so does the demand for skilled professionals behind the scenes. Brookdale’s new Esports Production & Management A.A.S. degree offers students an opportunity to turn their passion for gaming, technology, and media into a rewarding career in a growing industry.
