The Board of Regents on Thursday authorized several new degree programs at three South Dakota universities.

The board created master's and doctorate degrees in nutritional sciences, a master's degree in dietetics and an undergraduate degree in biotechnology at South Dakota State University.  Also approved was a master's of science in construction management at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and a new minor in interdisciplinary sciences at the University of South Dakota.

The board says no additional state resources are being requested for the programs. In a release, the regents say the programs are in response to workforce development needs.
