Blizzard on tour: University Relations program continues

Posted May 3, 2008 at 9:02PM by QJ Staff Listed in: News Tags: Blizzard, University of California

As video game development evolves and becomes more robust, plenty of positions open up. It's no secret that triple A titles require hundreds of staff members and millions of dollars. There's a big window you can go through if you want to break into the industry, but if that's not enough, you'd want to keep tabs on Blizzard Entertainment's University Relations program.

The makers of highly acclaimed franchises such as Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft plan to expand by initiating students into the scene. Blizzard kicked things off when it hosted the Spring Career Fair in the University of California, and more events are coming soon.
