The UNC-system Board of Governors has voted to cut 60 degree programs across the system, and other programs will be reviewed to minimize duplication throughout the system.

Unnecessary programs might be discontinued, combined with a more productive program or converted to an online program, said Alan Mabe, senior vice president for academic affairs for the UNC system.
UNC-system President Thomas Ross requested a study to look for unnecessarily duplicated degree programs to help the system cope with a potential 15 percent — $405 million — budget reduction for the upcoming academic year.
Selecting a subject area will show you all the majors offered at each school in that category.
