Should have kept Engineering Science since it is useful, and might even get you a job. Classical Studies, maybe, though it has probably been converted to some sort of SJW curriculum. The rest, bleh.
Here’s a link in case anyone wants to see what programs they’re keeping:

You’ll no doubt be relieved to learn that you can still major in Theatre with a minor in Gender Studies. /s
I find it hard to believe that they’re killing Engineering Science, an employable degree, while they’re keeping Gender Studies. I guess they think that virtue-signaling is more important than getting a job. It’s decisions like these that push small colleges into bankruptcy.
