Miami removes over 80 majors and programs, focuses on career outcomes

Since the 2019-20 school year, more than 80 majors and programs have been removed, and several department consolidations are underway. Registrar curriculum reports obtained by The Miami Student from the Provost’s office show that removals of degrees, majors, co-majors and concentrations met or exceeded additions for four out of the six academic years from 2019-20 to 2024-25. This data does not include graduate programs, where 20 programs have been eliminated since the fall of 2020.

The Miami Plan could save you from AI

"What makes an individual stand out in the application process is what experiences and perspectives they bring from outside their specific field. To stand out in a shrinking job market, students don’t just need a professional major; they need the liberal arts programs that make them unique."
