Two New Degree Programs
The University of Southern Indiana Board of Trustees on Saturday, May
9, 2009 approved a graduate degree program in communications and an
undergraduate degree in biochemistry. The programs are expected to begin
in 2010.
The new Masters of Arts in Communication will be offered as a two-year
program for full-time students or a three- to four-year program for
part-time students. It was listed as the second most highly needed
graduate program in the USI service region in the 2007 President’s
Taskforce on Workforce and Economic Development. The program will
require completion of 36 semester hours and is expected to begin in fall
2010. Individuals earning the degree can pursue careers in
advertising/public relations management, human resources, communication
in healthcare and business organizations, media management,
communication training, and communication consulting.
The baccalaureate degree in biochemistry, which is expected to be
offered in spring 2010, will be offered with existing courses and one
new course. The program, which will be comprised of a minimum of 124
semester hours, will prepare biochemists for scientific careers in
biotechnology, pharmacology, and environmental chemistry, or graduate
study or professional school in medicine, pharmacy, and related fields.
Both programs will be submitted to the Indiana Higher Education
Commission for review and approval.
