New Programs

  • Business Administration - Sports Business (SBUS) - Minor  - This minor delves into sports business operations, marketing strategies, and sports management. Students gain practical insights through internships and industry partnerships, honing skills in sports event planning, branding, and sponsorship negotiations. Graduates are prepared for impactful careers in sports organizations, marketing agencies, and sports event management companies.
  • Sport Leadership (SPLD) - BS Major  - This degree is intended to provide students with practical and theoretical background in Coaching, Adventure Sports, and Aquatics. The Sport Leadership program will prepare students to deliver a wide range of programs related to leadership in physical activity in both traditional and adventure sports settings.
  • Education Studies (Non-Licensure) (EDNL) - BS Major  - This program is only available to students within the Teacher Education Programs - Elementary Education or Early Childhood Education who have completed all teaching major courses, but unable to complete student teaching. This major (with two tracks) allows those students to complete a bachelor’s degree in Education Studies as a non-license degree. Education Studies department and program advisor approval required for admission.
  • Education Studies - Career and Technical Education (CTE) - BT Major  - This degree will provide students with a 5-12 teaching license in Career and Technical Education and prepare teachers to instruct at the middle school and high school levels, within a selected CTE pathway. In addition to preparing students to teach in school settings, the CTE program provides a rich background in teaching CTE and workforce training that may be applied to other careers in business and industry. The combination of general and professional teacher education training along with the study of concepts and hands-on workforce training in a skilled trades training environment of the two-year community/technical college is a distinguishing feature of this program.
  • Mass Communication/Strategic Communication 3+2 (MC) - BA Major  - This five-year accelerated program is designed to provide students an opportunity to complete both an undergraduate degree in Mass Communication and a graduate degree in Strategic Communication in less time than traditional programs. The Mass Communication major is divided into an academic core based on common principles of Mass Communication inquiry and three field-specific options. This major prepares students to create, produce, deliver, and understand the effects of mediated messages across all of the field-specific options - advertising, creative digital media, and public relations.
  • Special Education (SPDM) - Minor  - The Special Education Minor provides additional depth and preparation for delivering quality instruction to all learners. This minor is a toolkit for anyone interested in understanding and supporting individuals with diverse learning needs. Topics include inclusive educational practices, understanding disabilities, effective teaching, and behavior management strategies. Students explore different perspectives and learn about laws and policies shaping special education. This minor will benefit future teachers from all discipline areas and related service majors, such as social work, nursing, and criminal justice.

  • Individualized Studies (INDP) - BAS Major  - This program allows students to create a major utilizing several departments to meet their particular educational goals. Students may transfer up to 30 occupational (technical) credits in this program.

  • Business Analysis (BSAN) - Minor  - Data analytics is increasingly important across business, government, and every organization, driven by increasing availability of data and analytical processing capacity. The results of the data analysis leads to improved decision making. As a result, skills in managing, cleaning, analyzing and visualizing data are increasingly valuable. The Business Analysis minor attempts to capture some of these skills by introducing students to data management and data processing, mostly using Excel. Although there are many other skills, the scope is limited to avoid extra resources, make the minor accessible to more students, and target Excel, which is a benchmark software in business.
