Wright State University is in the process of evaluating its academic courses and programs to better align with modern workforce needs, faculty president and neuroscience professor Dawn Wooley said during a Board of Trustees meeting on Friday.
Wright State announced earlier this year it would suspend admissions to 34 programs as part of an efficiency review. In May, the university announced seven new or restructured undergraduate degrees, including new degrees in engineering technology and environmental science.
“We’re moving in a positive way and really on an upward swing right now,” Wooley said.
Last fall, the university did a review of all the programs and all the colleges, reorganizing to be more contemporary, Wooley said.
More recently, 30 program proposals and 147 course proposals were reviewed by the undergraduate curriculum committee, Wooley said, and there were 46 course deactivations.
At the graduate school level, 13 program proposals and 67 course proposals were reviewed, with 22 deactivations.
