Degree program closures, from fall 1998

All programs had very low demand. The year shown is the last fiscal year the program was on the approved degree program list. Students already in the program at that point may enroll and graduate in the program after that year. 

Reconfigurations of schools and colleges

2012: CU-Boulder resumed the administration, management and governance of a bachelor’s degree in environmental design. Environmental Design continues as a program, and the degree program continues. Offered since 1970 as part of the College of Environmental Design, CU-Boulder’s undergraduate environmental design degree was overseen by the College of Architecture and Planning at CU Denver 1992 to 2012.

2011: The School of Journalism and Mass Communication was discontinued as a school or college by vote of the Board of Regents  April 14 2011. Journalism and Mass Communication continues as a program housed in the CU-Boulder Graduate School. The B.S. program continues with modified degree requirements, called "Journalism Plus," requiring students to have not only a journalism major (e.g. advertising, broadcast news) but also an additional field of study (e.g., history, anthropology) or a second degree. The M.A. program in journalism continues unchanged.

Reconfigured degree programs

In the departments of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences, one degree program was split into two separate degree programs, effective fall 2008.
