The University of Vermont on Wednesday announced a plan to phase out some low-enrollment programs as it addresses a budget deficit of $8.6 million and to meet student demand for other programs. A dozen of the College of Arts and Sciences' 56 majors were identified to be discontinued as well as 11 of its 63 minors and four of the 10 master's degree programs. They either have had low enrollments or an average of fewer than five graduates a year over the past three years, UVM said.
