15. Academic Program Changes Programs closed are about 20% of all programs, but accounted last year for less than 2% of completions. Approximately 20 of the closed programs had no completions last year. Closing a program does not mean eliminating all coursework or closing a department. In many cases where programs are closing, there are programs remaining that meet most student need and interest. Division of Student Affairs: Spring 2012 P&S Meeting
