Indiana’s public colleges are preparing to cut, merge, or suspend roughly 580 academic programs under a 2025 state law designed to remove offerings that fail to graduate enough students. The Indiana Commission for Higher Education’s review identified about 370 programs to be consolidated and another 210 to be suspended or eliminated, with restrictions on admitting new cohorts beginning in fall 2027. The overhaul is now expanding from enrollment-driven accountability toward labor-market outcomes, as Indiana Gov. Mike Braun pushes for programs aligned with higher-earning futures. Institutions affected will be able to complete degrees for currently enrolled students, but further cuts could follow additional legislation directing colleges to either end “low earning” programs or seek waivers.
