BARGER Times Reporter With 33 four-year degrees currently offered at Utah Valley State College, college and Board of Regents officials are quickly adding to the list. According to UVSC spokesman Derek Hall, officials offi-cials hope to integrate approximately 10 more degrees at the school within the next two to three years. "In many cases, we already have the faculty in place," he said. The most recent degree, the Bachelor of Applied Technology (BAT) degree, was approved last month by the Board of Regents for UVSC and Weber State University. According to state officials, the degree is geared toward Utah College of Applied Technology students stu-dents who decide to pursue more education. Students interested must first earn an Associate of Applied Technology (AAT) degree from UCAT. They can then transfer to UVSC or Weber State as juniors to earn a BAT degree.

According to UVSC Interim President Lucille Stoddard, the new degree will help UCAT students transfer to a four-year college col-lege without losing time or credits. "It's an example of what we should do throughout higher education," she said. Hall explained that the program could begin at UVSC as early as this fall. Because of funding constraints, con-straints, members of the Board of Regents have placed a moratorium on new degrees. However, Hall said, if college col-lege officials can prove significant sig-nificant reasons for adding degrees, they can still be approved. After being proposed, pro-posed, each degree must be approved by the college Board of Trustees, then by the Board of Regents. At this time, members of the Board of Regents must choose whether to approve bachelor's programs for Spanish, dance and music performance at UVSC. Other prospective degrees may also need their approval before the 2003-04 school year begins, Hall said. upset winners in both the Orem and Salina bowls by chalking up the highest number num-ber of total points. In the total of eight rounds in the two bowls, the 12 competing com-peting teams were asked a total of 240 questions, such as, "What was the complaint about taxes in the Declaration of Independence?" and "Which constitutional amendment defines a 'citizen of the United States?'" |
