Bill > SF2753

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to expand the types of applied doctoral degrees that state universities can offer by adding cybersecurity to the existing list. Currently, state universities can offer applied doctoral degrees in education, business, psychology, physical therapy, audiology, and nursing. The bill specifically modifies the mission statement for state universities within Minnesota's public higher education system, allowing these institutions to now include cybersecurity as an authorized applied doctoral degree program. This change reflects the growing importance of cybersecurity as a professional field and provides state universities with the flexibility to develop advanced, professionally-oriented doctoral programs in this critical technological domain. The modification is part of a broader legislative effort to ensure that Minnesota's higher education institutions can adapt their academic offerings to meet emerging professional and technological training needs.
