Tezpur University to expand with six new departments

Tezpur: In a significant move to expand its academic offerings and promote interdisciplinary studies, Tezpur University (TU) is set to establish six new departments. The announcement was made by Vice Chancellor Prof Shambhu Nath Singh on April 5, 2024.

The new departments include Economics, Psychology, Political Science, Geography, Performing Arts, and Vocational Studies and Skill Development. These programs are expected to offer specialised curricula that will equip students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience necessary to excel in their respective fields.

“It has been observed that Tezpur University has primarily focused on science and engineering programs. To become a multidisciplinary university, TU needed departments that can offer programs in humanities and social sciences as well,” Prof Singh, who completed one year in office on April 4, said.
