On Wednesday, the UT System Board of Regents approved four new degree programs, which must be authorized by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The degrees are:

• Master of Science in learning analytics, College of Science
• Master of Education in special education, College of Education
• Bachelor of Arts in philanthropy, College of Liberal Arts and College of Business
• Bachelor of Science in data science, College of Science

In Friday's issue of MavWire, the learning analytics degree was incorrectly designated as being part of the College of Education.
