  • After Becker's Closing, Clark to Absorb Game Design, Esports Programs
    March 29, 2021 After Becker's closing, Clark to absorb game design, esports programs Becker College will stop operations at the close of the spring semester, but a few of its best known programs will live on through a Worcester neighbor, Clark University. Clark said Monday — just hours after Becker announced it would close permanently — it is starting the Becker School of Design & Technology at Clark University, which will include two celebrated elements of Becker's video game studies: game design and esports, along with integrated graphic design. Clark has separately reached an agreement with Becker to allow students in business, criminology and computer science to complete their degrees at Clark. “We proudly welcome Becker students to Clark University, and we’re thrilled not only to continue these signature Becker programs, which are already among some of the best in the world, but also to expand them and broaden their scope,” Clark President David Fithian said in a statement. Becker created the country's first esports management program and was the first college in Massachusetts to offer scholarships to varsity esports student- athletes. Last year, its undergraduate video game design program was rated No. 2 in America by The Princeton Review publication. For at least the upcoming academic year, Clark said it intends to keep those programs on the Becker campus. Becker School of Design & Technology Dean Alan Ritacco and Associate Dean Paul Cotnoir will continue their leadership roles in the newly established school at Clark, as will faculty members, Clark said. Clark is also accepting students in business, computer science, criminal justice and sports management.
