Percentage of Humanities Departments Ceasing to Grant Degrees at Some Level, by Control of Institution and Discipline, Fall 2007–Fall 2012
While the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ’s survey of humanities departments did not find a statistically significant decline in the number of departments from 2007 to 2012, it did reveal that some departments had ceased to grant a degree at one or more levels during this period. Among the disciplines in the survey, 6% of all departments lost a degree at some level. A larger proportion of departments at public colleges and universities experienced such a loss (8%).
