Electronic Sports (Esports) is a growing segment of collegiate competition, and, starting this fall, Immaculata University (IU) is launching its own program. IU will become a member of the National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE) and compete in the East Coast Conference.
Esports are team-based video game competitions watched in person or online by spectators. All of Immaculata's matches will be streamed online for viewing.
Like traditional sports, players wear team jerseys, compete in arenas and communicate with teammates and coaches as the game unfolds. IU players will compete individually and as a team in popular games such as Overwatch, League of Legends, Rocket League, Madden Football, Super Smash Bros. and FIFA Soccer.
Established in 1920 and guided by the servant leadership tradition of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the coeducational university offers more than 70 undergraduate and graduate programs and is home to 23 NCAA athletic teams. IU located in Chester County at 1145 W. King Road, Immaculata.
