The place I went to undergrad considered eliminating the undergraduate physics and philosophy majors a few years ago. Each major was only graduating 1 or 2 students per year. Ultimately, they kept the physics major, partly because the graduate physics program is relatively large, highly-regarded, and there was a lot of push-back from the physics department. The philosophy major was closed down for the time being. The philosophy department didn’t have the power that the physics department had. There are still undergraduate philosophy classes, and they’re saying the philosophy major may be restarted if the school gets more money.
