Admissions and Program Updates

New Programs

The Technology, Coding, and Society (TCS) major program focuses on the impact of technologies, including hardware, platform and associated software, on people and on society more generally.

The Chinese Language and Culture major program is for advanced language learners who would like to improve their written and oral communication skills in both academic and professional settings. (NOTE: The Chinese Language Minor is intended for students who have near-native proficiency level in Chinese so that they can be fully engaged in course materials and lectures conducted in Chinese.)

Cinema Studies will now be offered as a major program, in addition to the existing minor program.
