COLLEGE OF INNOVATION + DESIGN — Dean’s Report
INVESTING IN
NEW PROGRAMS
AND INITIATIVES
With graduation of the LEAD and VIP
programs, CI+D has expanded capacity to
launch new programs and we are excited to
announce these new initiatives:
1.
2.
Bachelor of Arts
degree in Digital
Innovation and Design
Proposals for
Innovative Academic
Programs
A new undergraduate degree in Digital
Innovation and Design will launch in Spring
2022. This new degree will allow students
to select from and complete certificates
that match their individualized goals while
emphasizing the use of new and emerging
technologies to meet the needs of an
evolving digital workplace. This innovative
approach further allows CI+D to build upon
and expand the portfolio of complementary
certificate offerings both within CI+D and
from partners across campus. CI+D is
currently awaiting State Board of Education
approval for the degree.
In Spring 2021, CI+D initiated what will
become an annual call for proposals for new
degrees, certificates, and courses. We have
reached out to all Boise State faculty across
campus seeking the best ideas for compelling, interdisciplinary academic programs
for the benefit of students, the university,
and the communities we serve. We will be
developing the proposals we receive during
the coming academic year. In next year’s
annual report, we look forward to sharing
the results of this process and the innovative, distinctive, and student-focused
programs that can be delivered by Boise
State in collaboration with CI+D.
