I have applied to UPenn LPS for spring of 2019. A couple of weeks after I applied I noticed their admissions page had a banner that read that spring 2019 is the last semester they are accepting applications for their BA program. I called and spoke to someone in the LPS admissions office and they told me that they are replacing the program with a Bachelors of Applied Arts and Sciences degree.

Anyone have any information on this?

I was told by my RA that they are putting up more online classes for LPS in the future to accommodate students that might be difficult getting to and from campus, and that’s why they changed the title of the degree.
