A lot of colleges announce new programs and offerings in their newsletters or on social media, but it’s hard to keep track. I thought we could create a running thread where we keep track of new programs that are announced this year. Comment below, and I’ll add them to the table as they come in!
I know that the University of Pittsburgh has started a new Bachelor of Science in Public Health (BSPH). The new class of undergraduates will start this major in Fall 2022!
Quinnipiac will offer a bachelor of science in environmental science, a bachelor of arts in sustainability and environmental policy, and a bachelor of arts (co-major) in environmental studies
Here’s a particularly exciting one—a brand new theater/TV/film conservatory is opening in Connecticut, and is planning to begin the process for accreditation as soon as it’s able in two years. In the meantime, they will begin by launching their certificate programs fall 2022.
Thanks again for these updates - please keep posting if you get wind of new undergrad programs or partnerships! In addition to updating the chart in the first post in this thread, I’ve created this new college collection to keep track of these: Colleges Adding New Programs in 2021/2022
