Missouri Colleges Will Cut More Than 100 Degree Programs: "

Missouri’s public colleges and universities will eliminate more than 100 academic programs with low enrollments as part of a review ordered by the state’s governor last year, the Springfield News-Leader reported, quoting a report from the state’s department of higher education. The newspaper said four-year colleges would terminate 73 degree programs, while two-year institutions would end 46, for a total of 119. The Associated Press put the total slightly lower, at 116. Affected majors will be phased out over time so students already enrolled can complete their degrees. The report is scheduled for discussion on Thursday by the state’s coordinating board for higher education, with a final document due to the governor by the end of the month.
