Midway University adds degrees, minors to curriculum; students will return Aug. 14-16; classes begin Aug. 17

Midway University has added majors in accounting and public health, and minors in finance, entrepreneurship and leadership for the fall semester, which will begin with in-person classes.

“When we add programs we always look at the market needs and growth potential for jobs for our graduates,” Dr. Mark Gill, dean of the School of Business, Equine and Sport Studies, said in a news release about the new degrees. “Accounting majors and CPAs continue to be needed in a wide variety of business segments.”

Accounting was formerly an area of concentration in the business administration major. It is available online or in person. The bachelor of science in public health degree is only available online.

“The field of public health is broad and offers students a variety of career opportunities such as working with both private and governmental agencies to help stop the spread of disease or prevent such illness from occurring, said Dr. Faith Garrett, dean of the School of Health Sciences. “Those in public health educate the public on improving health both individually and as a community.”

The university stopped in-person classes due to the covid-19 pandemic, but says it will resume them Monday, Aug. 17, as originally scheduled, with a staggered move-in to residence halls Aug. 14-16.

Interested parties can contact its admissions office at 846-5788 or admissions@midway.edu. A form requesting information can be completed at www.midway.edu.
