Why should schools try to offer every major when they may do a better job on the majors they do offer by tightening up departments and majors? Make room for new majors, adjust to the target audience.

When we were looking at schools, many were eliminated because they were just too small in the departments my kids were interested in. Only 5 physics professors and maybe 7 in the math department? That’s just not enough for a 3+2 engineering degree (and we quickly dropped the idea of a 3+2 degree because the ‘3’ never seemed to offer enough).
