For automatic approval from the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, degrees must maintain an average over three years of:

10 graduates for an associate’s degree program
15 graduates for a bachelor’s degree program
Seven graduates for a master’s degree program
Three graduates for a doctorate degree program
Otherwise, universities must request approval from the commission to keep low-enrollment degree programs.

..........


What do the changes look like in practice?
For Catherine Pilachowski, the chair of IU’s Department of Astronomy, the changes were workable. The astrophysics Ph.D., shared between them and the Department of Physics, is set to be taught out toward its elimination.

The program will likely be consolidated into different degrees at both schools, with an astrophysics track available, Pilachowski said. For her department, that means an astronomy Ph.D. with a track for those wishing to focus on astrophysics.

The department gets an average of four enrollments split between astronomy and astrophysics each year, Pilachowski said. But consolidation could hurt admissions for people looking to specifically study astrophysics, she said, meaning they have to work on communicating that expertise in the field is still available.
