Students at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio will have new options when classes resume in the Fall. The school recently announced the addition of two new bachelor’s degree programs: a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology and a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies.
The addition of two new undergraduate degrees comes in response to high demand in several local industries. Students who elect the bachelor’s degree in engineering can tailor their studies to one of two available sub-fields: industrial and systems engineering or electrical engineering. Nontraditional students may find the program especially appealing since much of the required coursework can be completed online.

- Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies
- Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science
- Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences
The bachelor’s degree in health sciences features five different concentrations, preparing students for allied health positions in physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, physician assistance, and more.
