Valparaiso to eliminate over 2 dozen academic programs - Laura Spitalniak, Higher Ed Dive

Valparaiso University, a Lutheran institution in Indiana, will eliminate over two dozen academic programs following an operational review intended to rightsize its offerings. The affected programs have stopped enrolling new students and include majors, minors and certificate offerings. Current students will be allowed to complete their studies through spring 2027. Valparaiso President José Padilla said in a Monday message to the university that around 2% of the campus population will be affected. Faculty cuts will follow, Padilla said, but he did not specify how many.
