The state of Florida now offers a three-credit talent class: the computer game Starcraft. They say it belongs to the Department of Business Administration. The PhD student who invented the course says the game teaches students how to allocate limited resources to achieve the best results.
Nate Poling, the inventor, says solving resource problems works in real life, too. In the game, you must understand the abilities of different units, and allocate your troops. It's like being a good small business manager. It is also suitable for MBA students.
