OSU-Cascades to launch degrees in economics, poli sci By Christine Coffin Correspondent BEND 3 Oregon State University 3 Cascades will offer new bachelor9s degrees in economics and political science beginning fall 2022. The degree programs were approved by the OSU Board of Trustees last month. <The new degree pro- grams in economics and political science will attract students seeking careers in business and finance, public policy and government, and law and help them develop the critical skills needed to address some of soci- ety9s biggest challenges,= said Interim Vice President Andrew Ketsdever. The new majors will leverage courses already offered at OSU-Cascades, as well as faculty expertise. Students will be able to pur- sue a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree in either major. The economics degree curriculum includes courses in economic theory, micro and macroeconomics, pub- lic policy, as well as sub- jects that build skills in oral and written communication, and in quantitative analysis. Students will select from spe- cialized options within the program including general economics; law, econom- ics and policy; managerial economics; and mathemati- cal economics. In the political sci- ence program students will take foundational courses in U.S. government and politics, international rela- tions and political thought, as well as persuasive writ- ing and speaking. They will also discuss and debate cur- rent world events. Program options in political science include environmental and energy politics; international affairs; and law and politics. OSU-Cascades also offers a minor in political science. Students studying in these new degree programs will be encouraged to pursue intern- ship, undergraduate research and other educational oppor- tunities beyond the class- room, including with orga- nizations based in Central Oregon. The degrees are offered through OSU9s College of Liberal Arts. Other degree programs at OSU-Cascades offered through the College of Liberal Arts include American studies; art; arts, media and technology; lib- eral studies; psychology; and social science. Implementation of the new degree programs are pending support by the Oregon public universi- ties9 provost council and the state Higher Education Coordinating Commission.
