Utica University Considers Cutting Various Degrees and Minors in Education
Utica University is contemplating eliminating several degree programs, marking its second comprehensive review in 75 years. President Dr. Todd Pfannestiel states this aligns student interests with employer demand, noting some majors have as few as three students. Concerns arise from the professors’ union, led by Dr. Leonore Fleming, who warns against removing the entire general education program without a replacement, emphasizing the need for a strong educational foundation. Alumni have expressed frustration over potential major cancellations, questioning their status as graduates.
