University of Montana Reviews Academic Programs, Considering Cuts to Low-Enrollment Offerings
The University of Montana is evaluating its academic programs, with plans to reduce some low-enrollment offerings. Proposed changes include eliminating masters degrees in literature and economics, and pausing minors in Chinese and Irish studies. Out of forty-two programs under review, thirty-eight face potential modifications suggested by faculty. These changes could convert majors to minors or certificates, as some programs have only one graduate per year but still require significant resources. Current students in affected programs will be completed, ensuring no sudden disruptions. The changes have faced backlash and may result in two faculty position cuts, with savings allocated to growing programs. Recommendations may reach the Board of Regents in May.
