![]() New ProgramsThis fall, the Richard J. Wehle School of Business at Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, is adding three new sports-related programs to its academic offerings. The bachelor’s degree in sport management covers sports marketing, ethics, psychology, law, and economics. The master’s degree in sport administration is a flexible online program that explores emerging industry trends, contemporary communication skills, and the new technologies used in sport administration. Coursework is complemented by internships, travel abroad opportunities, and industry events. The master’s degree in sport product development, also an online program, emphasizes product and market strategy in competitive team sports, extreme sports, fitness, individual sports, indoor games, and outdoor recreation sports. Coursework focuses on consumer insights that drive global markets as well as the process of creating sport products. The Price College of Business at the University of Oklahoma in Norman has launched two online master’s degree programs that can be completed in as little as 16 months. In the supply chain management program, courses cover problem solving, strategic thinking, ethics, and sustainability, as well as core business disciplines. In the analytics program, courses focus on the application of statistical modeling, data warehousing and mining, programming, forecasting, and operations research techniques to analyze business performance. Starting this fall, the University of Tampa in Florida will begin offering nine new graduate certificate programs in in business, accounting, analytics, instructional design, and health science disciplines. The school already offers graduate certificates in cybersecurity and nonprofit management. Each of the new certificates can be earned in three to four courses and can be stacked with other courses to allow students to earn master’s degrees. New Centers and FacilitiesThe Kelley School of Business at Indiana University in Bloomington is partnering with the university’s Kinsey Institute to form the Kinsey-Kelley Center for Gender Equity in Business, which will explore issues of gender inequity, sexual misconduct, and sexual harassment in the workplace. The center will prepare students to create safer work environments and instill individual behaviors that advance equality in business operations. For instance, the center will support a required undergraduate course in business ethics that features cases that explore the ethical and legal landscape of sexual harassment, gender bias in hiring and promotion, workplace relationships, and pay inequities. The center will sit within the Kelley School’s new Institute for Advancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging in Business. Pam Meyer Yttri, an IU alumna and active member of IU’s Women’s Philanthropy Leadership Council, provided initial financial support for the center.
