Share this article

The University of Wisconsin at Superior actually cut courses and whole majors due to lack of interest.”The University of Wisconsin-Superior is suspending nine academic majors, 15 minors, and one graduate program in what university leaders call an effort to ‘remain responsive to regional needs,'” WDIO, the local ABC affiliate there, reported. “The list of suspended programs includes: Majors: Broad Field Science, Broad Field Science (Teaching), Chemistry: Forensic (concentration), Communicating Arts: Journalism (track), Communicating Arts: Media Studies (track), Political Science (major), Sociology (major), Theatre (major), Visual Arts: Art History (concentration).”

” Minors: Computer Science, Computer Science (Teaching), Earth Science, Geography, Geography (Teaching), Global Studies, Health and Human Performance, History (Teaching), Journalism, Legal Studies, Media Communication, Photography, Physics, Physics (Teaching), Psychology (Teaching).”

“The university said about 3 percent of it’s students are enrolled in one of the majors being suspended, and most are in their senior year.”

Yes, but near as we can tell, the school is keeping Gender Studies.
