Is my program
affected?
Search a major, field, or college. A result describes a published change. No result does not guarantee that a program is unaffected.
“Theater”
Read each action label carefully. A closure, admission pause, teach-out, and accreditation change do not mean the same thing. One college decision may also name several programs.

A program action is not
a career forecast.
Colleges close or pause programs for many reasons, including enrollment, cost, staffing, accreditation, and state policy. Before changing plans, confirm the action with the college and compare the field with independent labor-market information.
