Baldwin Wallace University will wind down multiple academic offerings and eliminate related faculty positions as it refocuses around programs with stronger demand and outcomes. President Lee Fisher announced the sunsetting of nine undergraduate majors, seven graduate programs, and 19 minors, following an academic review process that began in January. The university also cut 10 faculty positions (about 2.5% of its full-time workforce). Fisher framed the restructuring as reallocating resources toward areas with growing student interest, workforce demand, and where the institution can build “distinctive excellence.” The closures include programs such as economics, human resources, music theory, sociology, sustainability, and physics, along with graduate cuts affecting Baldwin Wallace’s master’s programs in education and an MBA specialization in human resources management. Students in affected programs will be able to complete their studies at the university. BW’s decision reflects a continuing pattern of enrollment-responsive portfolio management: the institution reported financial surpluses in recent years, but is treating specific majors and specializations as no longer “competitive” or financially sustainable.
