Re: Franklin Pierce University cuts programs

Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire announced that it stops offering degrees in six academic programs.

Cut programs of Franklin Pierce University

The university will no longer offer majors or minors in American studies, theater and dance, graphic communications, fine arts, math, and arts management.

Full-time faculty in those departments will be reassigned to teach in other areas, and all students will be able to complete their majors.

The university will not allow any new entrants to those programs or offer any degrees after May 2016, according to an email to faculty from Kim Mooney, provost and vice president of academic affairs.

Franklin Pierce has about 1,400 students enrolled in its Rindge undergraduate campus and about 800 students at four graduate centers.

The university offers 25 majors and 35 minors, according to its website.

Administrators said the decision was made to allow the university to focus resources on programs that “attract, retain and prepare students for the personal and professional futures that await them,” according to the email.

The union wanted to be proactive rather than reactive,

While the union was disappointed to see the program cuts, there are no cuts to full-time faculty, and that’s in line with the union’s position.

There are roughly 70 to 75 full-time faculty.
