20,000 students, and we look forward to that number growing on an
international scale."
Since its establishment in 2019, GGA has been operating a
variety of educational programs. The Regular Course offers a
curriculum designed with advice from Gen.G professional players and
coaches to help students harness their leadership growth and

team tryouts. Those aiming for university admission can obtain
transcripts from accredited American schools or take equivalency
exams to gain admission to top universities domestically and
internationally. GGA has partnered with a network of renowned
universities such as Yonsei University,
the University of Kentucky,
Illinois State University, Ball State University, Osan University, Honam
University, and Shingu University, all of which have esports
programs.
In 2024, all five third-year students from GGA's Regular Course
were accepted into top universities, including the University of Texas at Austin (ranked 32nd),
Ohio State University (43rd),
University of Connecticut (58th), and

scholarship offers of up to $80,000.
Students plan to continue their academic pursuits in various fields

their universities.
Nam Tae-in, a 2024 GGA Regular
Course graduate set to attend Illinois State
University, said, "The Esports Master Program (EMP) and
capstone projects provided by GGA helped me build a strong
portfolio. This experience gave me an advantage in college
applications, earning me offers from multiple universities and a
$48,000 scholarship. At Illinois State, I plan to try out for the Overwatch
team and study game design, ultimately aiming to become a game
designer."
