This upcoming spring semester, many of the academic curricula currently and newly added to Elizabethtown College’s list of degree programs will offer new courses for current students to choose from in the class selection period for the spring.

These new programs are encompassing not only the new major and minor programs being offered on campus, but also the addition of interdisciplinary courses and integrated learning geared toward students pursuing interdisciplinary career paths.

At the beginning of the fall 2018 semester, seven new major programs, along with their corresponding courses, were added to the College’s list of academic curricula. These seven majors included biomedical engineering, chemistry laboratory sciences, civil engineering, criminal justice, data sciences, finance, financial economics, graphic design and marketing.

The addition of the seven new majors brings the College to offering a total of more than 50 majors and 100 minors and concentrations.

The seven new major concentrations have added additional courses to their respective departments, presenting current students with the options to choose from more courses related to their fields of study.

However, in addition to the major courses, over four interdisciplinary courses have been added to the College’s academic curriculum as well.

These courses, combining disciplines like ecology, creative writing, art, literature and modern physics, provide current students with the opportunity to take core level classes that are not subject to disciplinary constraints.

The new academic program and interdisciplinary core courses stem from the College’s transition into a “you-minded” approach of learning for current and prospective students.
