The Board of Regents committee meetings will convene Friday at noon in the Cornelius A. Martin Regents Room in Mass Media and Technology Hall. 

The approval for the Doctor of Psychology in Applied Psychology and the approval of a Revised WKU Statement of Purpose are on the agenda. 

Student Regent Nicki Seay said the doctorate degree is very important for WKU’s academic profile.

“It’s just another opportunity for WKU to continue to establish itself as a research institution,” she said. “While working toward getting more and more doctorate programs…”

Several information items will also be discussed, including an enrollment report by Brian Meredith, chief enrollment and graduation officer, and a Graves Gilbert Clinic at WKU update by Ann Mead, senior vice president for Finance and Administration.

If passed, the items will go up for full board approval in October.
