University of Colorado regents are considering adding two degree programs at the Boulder campus: a master's degree program in law and a doctorate in Asian languages and civilizations.

Regents are expected to approve the proposals at a meeting Thursday in Colorado Springs.

School officials say the programs will meet demand from students and could generate more revenue.

CU's School of Law is proposing a master's degree in three specialty areas: natural resources, technology and intellectual property, and entrepreneurial law.

Regent Michael Carrigan, a CU law graduate, said the program will help CU attract top-notch students and professors, as well as increase rankings.
Existing faculty members will receive stipends of $1,750 per course credit to work with master's students. The program will break even with five students.
