Abra Casey Lead Writer

fter months of delib- eration, the Board of Trustees has approved a process that will result in the reordering and elimination of programs and positions at Carroll. AFive majors will be sunsetted: classical studies, ethics and values studies, engineering science, environmental outreach and interpretation, and environmental policy and project management. Ten minors will also be sunsetted: anthropology, arts management and administration, classical studies, economics, European studies, Latin American studies, music, public relations, social media, and TV production. The three certificates that will be discontinued are geographic information systems (GIS), project management, and social media. Two majors will also be restructured. Secondary education will be made into three broadfield majors including english, science, and social studies. Environmental programs will also be restructured with more details to come.
