A Note from Thaddeus Guldbrandsen, Dean, School of Sciences and Humanities

Dear Friends,

As the 2023-2024 academic year draws to a close, I am delighted to share the following highlights from the School of Sciences and Humanities.

We are excited to announce the launch of two new bachelor's degrees available to students next year, in the fall of 2025:

The Bachelor of Science in Climate Resilience will prepare students for careers in the region's rapidly growing Green Economy. Using Boston as a hands-on learning laboratory, this interdisciplinary program will focus on social justice, adaptation to a changing urban environment, and the human dimensions of climate adaptation.

The Bachelor of Science in Physics will prepare students for careers in a broad range of fields, equipping them with skills in mathematics, logic, computer programming, and experimental design. With a focus on hands-on learning, student research, and mentorship, students will be prepared for careers in medical technology, defense, data science, and more.

Our faculty continues to be productive with award-winning teaching and scholarship across the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Sciences. The big news this year is the expansion of our capacity in STEM and the study of the environment. We welcomed and plan to welcome new faculty in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics and launched two new degrees focused on science and the environment. Meanwhile, plans are underway to make our general education experience even better. I am very excited about the future of Wentworth, as students will benefit from this increased capacity in the School of Sciences and Humanities. You can read more about them below.

We're looking forward to another exciting year as we welcome a new class of exceptional students this fall.

Congratulations to all of our 2024 graduates!

Warmly,

Thad Guldbrandsen, Ph.D.
