Utah State cuts two business degrees LOGAN, Utah (AP) - Utah State University is cutting the school's business information technology education and marketing mar-keting education degrees. The bachelor's and master's programs were offered to students stu-dents who wanted to teach business busi-ness in high schools. The program had steadily lost students, who instead focused on skills they could use in industry jobs, said Provost Ray Coward. As a result, business faculty asked to discontinue the programs pro-grams in December 2005. By September 2006, the degrees were closed to new students. About 12 students remained in the programs at the time. Classes were kept in place to allow them to finish their education. educa-tion. The last of the group will graduate next year. Most of the faculty who specialized spe-cialized in business education retired or transferred to other schools, Coward said. The request to eliminate the degrees was approved unanimously unani-mously by the school's board of trustees Oct. 19. The state Board of Regents will likely vote to cut the program in January. Coward said the decision to stop offering the degrees was difficult. "It's an intense process (to end adegree)," he said. "I do feel that ahealthyuniversity is constantly evaluating its needs and adding and subtracting programs." USU's College of Education was offered a chance to take on the degrees, but it declined, Coward said. College of Business Senior Associate Dean Clifford Skou-sen Skou-sen said that wrapping up the programs is the right move. "We've seen dramatic increases in-creases in the MIS (management information systems) area away from business education," he said. Southern Utah University, Utah Valley State College and Weber State University still offer degrees in business education. 20 Hp.
