Welcome to Ferris Esports Ferris Esports is the premier hub for elite competitive gaming and professional esports production. We provide the infrastructure and academic backing to help you represent the Bulldogs nationally and turn a passion for gaming into a professional career.
Located in the new Center for Virtual Learning (CVL), our 3,600-square-foot Esports Arena is designed for high-end play and live broadcast production.
Ferris State pairs top-tier competition with rigorous education. Operating within the School of Digital Media, our program ties directly to the Bachelor’s degree in Esports Production. You don't just participate in events—you run them.
Our students gain professional, real-world portfolio experience using:
We field rosters that challenge universities nationwide. We are actively recruiting and offering partial scholarships for players competing in GLIAC-related titles but we support our students in competing in ALL game titles in which we can find adequate competition.
Students in Ferris Esports operate state-of-the-art production hardware and digital media applications to create professional-grade live broadcasts. From regular season matches to major tournament finals, our broadcast team brings the action directly to fans on twitch.tv/FerrisEsports.
Our live broadcasts are fully voiced by Ferris students, providing the energetic play-by-play calls and expert color commentary needed to break down high-level gameplay. Beyond just calling the match, students develop real-world experience in dynamic sports communication and live broadcast operations.
Beyond weekly league play, Ferris Esports hosts major regional and national events like the GLIAC Finals, Crimson Clash, and the NoMi Invitational. From elite collegiate invitationals to community charity tournaments, the program brings top-tier competitive gaming directly to campus.
