Ferris State University will add two more bachelor of science degree programs in the fall of 2022.

BIG RAPIDS, Mich. - FSU in Big Rapids, announced that they will offer two new majors, one in economics and another in eSports production.

The eSports market continues to grow, with careers in things like event production, user experience design, video production, and much more. FSU Provost, Robert P. Fleischman said the new eSports program is “cutting edge.” “It’s the only program in the State of Michigan, it’s totally an online program, and gives us an opportunity to offer the program throughout the entire State of Michigan and beyond,” he said.

FSU said both degrees are growing markets where students continue to show interest.

The next step is submitting both programs for review with the Michigan Association of State Universities. There will also be a Board of Trustees meeting on May 6th. The recruitment process will begin in May.
