With the release of the final Sustainability Plan for the coming year, significant changes to the PPE/PA programs were announced. The Plan makes three specific recommendations: To restructure PPE as Politics and Economics; to "suspend" the PA major and move from a PA minor to a Public Policy minor encapsulated within the PE degree; and to create an Economics major, to be moved to the College of Business.
A few important points: First, EOU is required to allow current students to finish their degrees. You may be required to make substitutions for eliminated courses, but you will be able to obtain a degree from EOU in your current major. Second, PA is not being outright eliminated--the Plan suggests that it be reinstated once adequate faculty resources are available. Third, the Plan's suggestions assume a total of 3.0 FTE in addition to current online adjunct capacity.
For more information see the final Plan linked to above as well as EOU's Budget and Planning website.
