Students have asked, and we’re finding ways to deliver. Heidelberg is adding a series of 新专业 and creating an accelerated “bridge” into our graduate counseling program. Building on academic programs at which we already excel, these 新专业 have the potential to change students’ lives and set them on an awesome career trajectory.
The 新专业 and “bridge” program will be available a year from now, beginning with the fall semester of 2023.
“All of our majors are designed to develop the professional skills students need for success in their chosen fields and those that they are asking for,”医生说。. Tony Bourne, Vice President for Enrollment 管理 and 市场营销. “The 新专业 are market-driven, addressing demand in emerging fields such as Supply Chain 管理, Data Analytics and 健康 Information 管理, as well as targeting employee shortages in the increasingly important fields of mental health service.”
Coming next fall, the 商学院 will be home to five 新专业. 会计, 工商管理, 经济学, 金融, 管理, 人力资源管理 and 市场营销, which are currently concentrations, will be converted to full majors. Also within the 商学院, Heidelberg will add an entirely new major in Supply Chain 管理.
New majors also will be offered in Data Analytics (within 计算机科学) and 健康 Information 管理 (within 健康科学s). The latter would be an interdisciplinary major with Business and Data Analytics, Tony said.
“The two 新专业 coupled with the conversion of four existing concentrations to majors and the existing majors in 会计, Business and 经济学 expand the portfolio of offerings delivered by the 澳门银河网站 商学院 to seven distinctive majors,” said Heidelberg Provost Dr. 布莱恩史密斯. “These clearly defined majors will assist prospective students in assessing if Heidelberg is a good fit for their future goals, enable current students to more clearly articulate their focus of study, and assist future alumni with their employment or graduate school applications.”
“The motivation behind these changes is to better serve our existing and future students on their journeys to lead lives of purpose with distinction,布莱恩补充道.
There’s also good news for current Heidelberg undergrads who are planning on pursuing a master’s degree in the counseling field. Heidelberg is creating an accelerated, five-year “bridge” pathway for current majors in Psychology and Criminology into the Master of Arts in Counseling Program, whereby undergrads could complete up to two semesters of graduate coursework while pursuing their bachelor’s degree.
“We’re excited to expand upon areas of academic strength with excellent teaching, 表现出色的学生, and a track record of achieving preferred placement by graduates,布莱恩说. “We’re especially happy that we will be providing these new opportunities to prospective students in areas that we know will lead them on a successful career path.”
The 新专业 are tied directly into a goal within Heidelberg’s Strategic Action Growth Plan, 2022-2026 that targets enrollment growth and expanded student educational opportunities.
