UNCG chancellor makes final call to cut 20 academic offerings - Natalie Schwartz, Higher Ed Dive

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s leader announced plans Thursday to wind down 20 academic offerings, spanning from bachelor’s degrees in anthropology and physics to graduate programs in nursing and mathematics. The final program cuts come about two weeks after UNCG unveiled recommendations to discontinue 19 course offerings, minors, bachelor’s degrees and graduate programs. On Jan. 22, UNCG Provost Debbie Storrs added an additional program — a Ph.D. in computational mathematics — to the list of recommended cuts. Thursday’s decision didn’t save any programs from the chopping block, though one undergraduate degree program is transitioning to a concentration.
