Hi,

Thanks for your email! We appreciate your continued interest in Quantic. It's true we are working on some new degree programs, but we do not have any further updates to share at this time. We have taken some steps forward, including hiring subject matter experts and commencing course creation. Once any new programs do become available, we'll be sure to send out an email campaign and post information on our website and social platforms. The anticipated roll-out timeframe is still for as early as next year, but we do not have any specific dates to share.

Best,
