It didn’t eliminate the courses, only the majors. Students can still take Spanish and history, but the college has expanded its science and technology majors and since it hasn’t increased enrollment, it has to make some cuts to make room for new majors. It doesn’t make economic sense to have a entire department and issue 5 degrees per year. Some of the majors have been combined into more popular areas of study like American Studies. It is not in an area with a high Hispanic population. Spanish wasn’t even offered at the high school until the 1990s. Regional universities serve their regions.
The school is still strong in music, theater (very difficult admit), education, natural resources, sciences. It is also very affordable and has many scholarships available.
And it won the NCAA div.3 hockey championship last year.
