UW system has added 34 new programs since fall 2023
Between October 2023 and the UW Board of Regents meeting in December, the board approved 34 new programs, with most of them at the bachelor’s degree level, in addition to a handful of master’s or doctorate programs.
The majority already existed in some form on their campuses or across the UW system but have been restructured and needed a refreshed stamp of approval.
But there are several new majors and degree programs, as universities look to respond to student interest or workforce needs.
UW-Superior is being added to the UW systemwide program that lets students earn a nursing degree online. Other programs are currently minors, such as the UW-Madison School of Ecology’s Design, Innovation and Society program, which is expanding to become a major due to rabid interest.
