Academic Program Changes• Programs closed are about 20% of all programs,

but accounted last year for less than 2% of completions.

• Approximately 20 of the closed programs had no completions last year.

• Closing a program does not mean eliminating all coursework or closing a department.

• In many cases where programs are closing, there are programs remaining that meet most student need and interest.
