91ɫ��Ƭ announces the launch of three new academic programs that will provide students with the expertise needed to succeed in some of the fastest-growing job markets. These new offerings include two programs aimed at undergraduate students— and —and a new graduate level program in . 

“These programs were chosen because they represent areas where job growth is projected to be high over the next decade. All three complement Wilson’s existing curriculum, and I commend our faculty and academic leadership team for working together to provide our students with skills and training that will be highly relevant to the workplace and economy for years to come.” said Wilson President Wesley R. Fugate, Ph.D.

The new undergraduate programs include select online courses as part of the curriculum. Available through the College's partnership with Rize Education, these courses will offer students a cutting-edge curriculum, greater scheduling flexibility, access to nationwide experts in the field, and access to even more resume-ready skills. The program was built in direct collaboration with Google with the goal of developing graduates to fill important and understaffed roles across tech industries. With employment in the field expected to grow at roughly 22% over the next decade (nearly 3x the national average), Wilson students will be qualified for increasingly valuable jobs. Similarly, the degree will equip students with the technical and business knowledge needed to secure high-paying and growing jobs in this field, all without needing to be high-ranking programmers. Both undergraduate programs include portfolio-building and project-based classes to ensure a robust resume before graduation.

The new will provide certified educators with the opportunity to pursue a degree in educational leadership and policy. This degree will provide students the opportunity to earn K-12 Principal Certification, Supervisory Certification, and/or a Superintendent’s Letter of Eligibility.
