A University of New Orleans faculty group has graded the 80 degree programs offered at the school.
The New Orleans Advocate reports the programs are judged on criteria including student demand, graduation rate and tuition revenue.
Those getting top marks include undergraduate programs in biological sciences, psychology, mechanical engineering, and hotel, restaurant and tourism administration.
Among the bottom are undergraduate offerings in secondary teaching and early childhood education — as well as a master's degree in engineering management and financial economics.
The 25-member group includes deans of UNO's five academic colleges and library, as well as faculty leaders.
It will now look into recommendations on which programs best fit with the university's long-term direction.
