NAMPA, Idaho — College of Western Idaho (CWI) plans to offer a bachelor's degree pathway in the field of business, as soon as fall of 2024, a news release stated.
On Nov. 9, CWI's Board of Trustees unanimously approved CWI offering a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree in Business Administration in Fall of 2024, pending approval from the Idaho State Board of Education, the release stated.
"Offering a BAS in Business Administration at CWI would be a great opportunity for our college and the community to meet the workforce needs of the Treasure Valley," said Board Chair, Molly Lenty.
