Lack Of In

The University has phased out three degree programs that
were not carrying their weight in an effort to strengthen the
overall academic structure of certain departments, ac|
cording to department officials.
The B.A. degree in library education, the masters in
transportation, and the master, of >arts in teaching in
government and international studies have all been phased
out either because of lack of student interest or because the
program was no longer necessary, according to officials in
the various departments that administered them.

the College of Education, said the B.A. in Library Education
was phased out when the College of Librarianship was for- .
med. "The university felt that librarians should become
certified through a master's program. Therefore, an un}
dergraduate degree program became unnecessary."

Maiden said the MAT program died because Jack of
student interest and the difficulty in finding a job with a
degree in that area. "GINT is too specialized to teach just
that in high school; a person certified in social studies,
however, is certified to teach not only government courses
but also history and possibly more."
The masters in transportation was phased out because of
lack of student and professor interest, said Pierce Liles,

was eliminated in 1979."
No students in these programs were affected. None of these
programs were eliminated until all students in them had
graduated, according to Associate Provost Steven Ackerman.
Ackerman also said that while no more cutbacks in
programs are planned at the present time, all degree
programs are oeing cioseiy scruunizea.
"We must always consider cost effectiveness and student
numbers because it is unethical for USC to offer non-viable
programs. We would consider phasing out a weak program to
strengthen an overall department.
We must offer adequate programs to maintain our integrity/]
