In a report addressed to the Missouri Department of Higher Education, Chancellor Brady Deaton recommended that 12 low-producing MU degree programs be eliminated because they are an extra cost to the university.

Here are some examples of the degree programs recommended to be eliminated:

  • Bachelor's degree in Environmental Geology
  • Master's degree in Natural Resources
  • Bachelor's degree Education Specialist

Along with the 12 programs recommended for elimination, the university also plans on reconfiguring 34 other majors, which might include combining faculties and resources.
