Nine Degree Programs Set for Elimination at State Universities
The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education plans next week to cut nine degree programs across USC Columbia, South Carolina State, Clemson, and Winthrop under a minimum graduate rule. USC would lose five programs including classics and African American studies. SC State two. Clemson and Winthrop one each. The move follows a long standing formula weighing degrees awarded majors in good standing and student reach. University officials condemn the plan, while the commissioner says the rule remains necessary amid tighter funding and evolving enrollments.
