Excerpt from the Wright State Guardian
Wright State University’s Board of Trustees determined a new organization of the colleges and majors. Several majors, including Art and Theatre Studies, will be condensed into one program beginning fall 2028.
On Sept. 17, the Board of Trustees (BOT) met for its Public Session meeting from noon until 5:30 p.m. The BOT will meet Dec. 11 again to finalize the reorganization. The BOT determined that the goals of the reorganization are to “align academic programs with industry trends and emerging workforce needs” and “forge enduring collaborative relationships with partners and communities in defense, engineering and technology and healthcare” along side preschool-twelfth grade education.
Nonetheless, in regard to academic program changes, the following were proposed and approved.
A new Accelerated Bachelor of Science (BS) in Business Administration, a BS in Mathematical Sciences and an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Radiologic Technology.
There will be a new graduate certificate in Defense Contracting, Finance and Acquisition.
There are 14 programs becoming inactive or being adjusted into a different program. Design/Technology Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Entrepreneurship Bachelor of Science in Business (BSB), Materials Science and Engineering Bachelor of Science in Materials Science and Engineering (BSMSE) and Sociology BA will be inactive.
