At its meeting today, the GVSU board was expected to approve two programs to attract and retain students.
A Chinese studies major focusing on the country’s culture, language, and history would be implemented this fall, admitting 37 students.
A new doctorate of nursing practice would educate nurses on management, quality health care delivery and illness prevention. It would seek accreditation this year and start in fall 2009.
