VSU adds degrees

This fall, Valdosta State University students will have two more degrees to choose from when planning their academic careers.

The Board of Regents for the University System of Georgia recently approved VSU to begin teaching curriculum for the bachelor of fine arts in dance and the doctorate in public administration degrees.

Currently, undergraduates studying dance must receive degrees in theatre with either an emphasis or minor in dance. Due to the approval, however, students will now have the opportunity to pursue dance as an independent, professional degree program. It makes the BFA in dance the only dance degree program of its type in south Georgia, and the second BFA in dance offered in the university system.

In addition to the BFA in dance, VSU will also offer the doctorate in public administration degree. The DPA will build on the current master's of public administration degree program and allow students to develop as professional public managers and leaders. The mostly Internet-based program will allow non-traditional students to complete the degree while continuing full-time employment.
