Are there any schools where you can major in gambling?

<p>Games like poker? Probability?</p>

<p>I think the University of Nevada at Reno has a gambling minor. Anywhere else?</p>

<p>Why would you want that major? (Besides it being a lot of fun)</p>

<p>Maybe at this point a good gambling strategy is the most reasonable plan for coming up with 4 years of college tuition.</p>

<p>;) Sorry.</p>

<p>Math majors usually do well at casinos.</p>

<p>MIT, in particular, has long had an unercurrent of students who apply their skills to gambling as a hobby -- or more. There's a recent book (can't remember the name) that details a group of MIT students who made a ton of money by working on and applying gaming statistics.</p>

<p>Here it is: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743249992/103-0378342-4603026?v=glance&n=283155&s=books&v=glance%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743249992/103-0378342-4603026?v=glance&n=283155&s=books&v=glance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Not about gambling but gaming. Today's NYT has an article about videogaming courses becoming hot on some campuses.</p>

<p>As far as I can tell, my S is majoring in Texas Hold'em....</p>

<p>Well, I did find this...</p>

<p>At least one school S has looked at lists "Poker" as a club sport.</p>

<p>Central Michigan University gives some information on several classes through UNLV:

<p>Penn. It's a gamble just walking around the neighborhood.</p>

<p>(Joke!)</p>

<p>There are programs in casino management. Tulane was offering them at their branch campus on the Mississippi gulf coast prior to the hurricane. I'm not sure what their status or that branch's status is now.</p>
