8. Enrollment Challenges
Sociology courses are at capacity (major & GE)
Criminal Justice courses are at capacity (major)
Communication Studies is near capacity (major & GE)
Art (studio emphasis) is at capacity (finite studio space is increasingly constraining—might be alleviated by new downtown space if BFA students are shifted down there)
Music (performance emphasis) needs to shore up its recruitment to balance out performance sectors, but cost of individual supervision coursework is a potential issue; working to build up Music Education program; might also benefit from emphasis on Music Technology & Production
Backlog of demand for GE area C2 (Humanities) & GE area A3 (Critical Thinking) courses; at capacity for GE area A1 (Oral Communication) & GE area A2 (Composition) courses
