STORRS, CT (WFSB) – Changes may be coming to the University of Connecticut.
Nearly two dozen graduate programs or certificates could either be cut or suspended.
The university told Channel 3 that the bottom line is there has been very little interest in the programs.
It said that in some cases, the enrollment for the classes was zero.
Eyewitness News was also told that none of the programs or certificates involved undergraduate programs.
Certificates are for professional development.
Three programs were recommended for closure. They included politics, popular culture, and obesity prevention.
The rest were recommended for suspension until more interest could be generated.
A spokesperson for the university said most of the programs and certificates were online.
Wednesday, recommendations will be made to the Board of Trustees, which will have to approve them.
