The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported yesterday that Georgia’s public universities will offer fewer degrees in majors such as French, classical culture and certain specialized teaching fields after the Board of Regents terminated 215 programs at 18 schools.

The colleges will stop conferring degrees in those programs following the regents’ vote late last week. Each of the programs had already been deactivated for more than two years because of lagging enrollment, and officials said any impacted students have received advice on how to pursue other degrees.
