That's silly... I've been watching these changes on the UAA website for nearly a year. They began proposing "transformations" back in 2013, which I was notified of as a student. Sometimes, you need to do your own research rather than relying on media to hand the information to you. They aren't hiding anything and, as opposed as you may feel, there are students engaged in these programs. The university is facing many challenges in just "chopping" entire programs as many would propose. It is estimated to take approximately five years to teach them out (yea... because UAA doesn't want to just kick students out who have already invested time and financial resources into their education). Hopefully this doesn't upset you!
