UT losing two degree programs

I would not cut intellectual majors like Greek and Scandinavian studies.

The difference between Greek and Classics at UT Austin is not significant. Push come to shove, eliminating Greek and Latin and keeping a major in classical languages is not a significant change. Many universities, even very good ones, don’t offer separate Greek and Latin majors.</p>

<p>Eliminating all classics undergrad majors or (even worse) the PhD program would be far more worrisome.</p>

Students who want to study Slavic Studies and major in Greek can go to universities with bigger, more well-developed programs in those areas.

FYI, UT has the biggest classics program in the country and is a strong contender for a top 10 if not top 5 spot in any ranking. It’s by far one of the university’s strongest programs.</p>
