In this must-watch video for current first- and second-year UVA students considering Batten’s undergraduate major program, Director of Undergraduate Admissions Anne Carter Mulligan shares some exciting changes for the BA curriculum starting in Fall 2022, including a change in prerequisite requirements, expanded special topics options, and new leadership and civic engagement core courses. These changes are in effect for only the Batten BA program, and there are currently no changes for our minor in public policy and leadership. More information about this curriculum will be published on our blog throughout the year! Students with questions about these changes can make an appointment with Anne or Courtney!
