Uhm, my university just eliminated my major.

Effective Nov 2002, BABA-Global Business will no longer be offered as a major at the University of Florida. It says that all current students will be allowed to graduate with the major, but no more people will be accepted into the program.

Sjjhould this worry me?

why would you be worried, you can still graduate.

Nope, as long as you get to finish all necessary courses. Florida schools suck anyway. Go up north.

<--- Went to UM and got screwed hardcore.

Just tell employers that you learned so much, there wasn't anything left to teach future classes.

 

[zCypher]

Unless you're not in the program yet, I don't think it should worry you.

There must be some reasoning behind dropping these majors i would imagine.

The only way that I can see it affecting you is if a potential employer knows that you got your degree from a school that longer offers that degree. They might question the quality of your degree. Wonder why they don't offer the program anymore. That's about all I can see. You might want to try and find out why they're not going to be offering the major anymore so if an employer should ask you about it, you have an answer to the question. My $.02, anyway.

There may be a lack of students within the program and it is not cost effective to offer it.

A student signing up for the program (major) is generating an implicit contract with the stae to be allowed to continue within the program. The state has no obligation to continue to allow newcomers into the program.

As long as you are enrolled in that declared major during the fall of 2002, you are safe.
Others can not transfer into this major or declare it as a new student.

What's so bad about UM? Other than the fact that it is about 30,000 bucks above my price range.

I thought you lived in Hjolljjand.

florida schools don't "suck"
if i wanted to work in florida, i'd much rather have gone to a florida school and built florida connections than to have gone to umich.
