The University of Colorado regents this week will consider adding two new degree programs at the Boulder campus: a master’s in law and a doctorate in Asian languages.
The degree proposals highlight the revenue potential of the programs, show there’s a high demand and outline how the disciplines fit into the school’s long-term plan known as “Flagship 2030” — which aims to prepare graduates for an increasingly competitive global economy.
The regents are expected to approve the new degree proposals at their board meeting Thursday in Colorado Springs.
CU’s School of Law is proposing a “master of laws” degree in three specialty areas — natural resources, technology and intellectual property, and entrepreneurial law. Once approved by the regents, the law school will start taking applications from students who have already earned their juris doctorate. Daily Camera
