STORRS, CT (WFSB) - Changes may be coming to the University of Connecticut.

Students are taking their final exam this week, but at the same time, the university is taking a closer look at about 2 dozen graduate and certificate courses.

The provost and the dean of students sent a letter to faculty and staff announcing cuts and suspension of those courses.

They say, “There are programs that no longer meet student demand,” and “Our academic offerings need to evolve with the changing interests of students and the job market.”

The reason they say is a lack of interest and low enrollment.

It said that in some cases, the enrollment for the classes was zero.

“I feel like if people are interested in the topic, the school should provide classes to those people who are interested,” said Ryan Ferris, UConn Senior. “Obviously, that’s a tricky situation, because you don’t want that student to be let off. It’s a tricky situation.”

Eyewitness News was also told that none of the programs or certificates involved undergraduate programs.

Certificates are for professional development.

Three programs were recommended for closure. They included politics, popular culture, and obesity prevention.

The rest, including Medieval Studies, Adult Learning, Literacy Support, Educational Technology, Digital Media & Design, and Addiction Science, were recommended for suspension until more interest could be generated.

A spokesperson for the university said most of the programs and certificates were offered online.

Wednesday, recommendations will be made to the Board of Trustees, which will have to approve them.
