New programs are the Bachelor of Science (BS) in Instructional Technology & Design, Bachelor of Science (BS) in Marketing & Entertainment Management, Bachelor of Science (BS) or Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Professional Writing for Creative Arts, and Bachelor of Science (BS) in Software Development for Creative Technologies.
