Go to StarCraft class

I thought that this was great for all of those people who wished that gaming would become more than just something kids did at home instead of homework.

What if it WAS your homework??

Take a look at this article and this article about the college course started for the PC game, StarCraft.

Aside from sounding great, one comment may shed a little light on the reality of a gamer's dream.

Aeralindor states,

As someone who has taken these DECal courses (Democratic Education in Cal) before, it's not a "real" class. It's run by students and while you do get credit, it's general education credit (usually 1-2 units) and it's basically used as filler. I'll admit that two of the most interesting classes I took while I was a student at Cal (Fencing and History of Punk Rock) were DECals, they aren't taught by professors or even graduate students, and I wouldn't consider it an "offical" class.

That all being said, those taking the class should have a great time for those 1-2 units they're getting :)
