CHE Cuts Degree Programs in Indiana

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education voted Wednesday to consolidate, suspend, eliminate or monitor more than 1,000 low-enrolled degree programs at Hoosier public colleges and universities. The commission spent the past nine months reviewing 2,300 academic programs to identify low-enrolled degrees to comply with House Enrolled Act 1001, which took effect last July as lawmakers seek to streamline higher education toward in-demand careers.  State officials emphasized that only 4% of 2024 graduates earned a degree in any of the 1,000 degrees subject to CHE action Wednesday.
