Fall 2023, the Marymount Board of Trustees voted to eliminate eight majors from its undergraduate offerings: Art, English, History, Philosophy, Mathematics, Sociology, Secondary Education, and Theology and Religious Studies, as well as one M.A. program. This decision was met with significant disapproval from students, alumni, and faculty, resulting in protests.
Former director of the School of Humanities Ariane Economos spoke to local news on television channel WTTG (FOX5), stating, "If they want to change the mission, then say that and say what that change is... But getting rid of theology and religious studies at a Catholic university, that doesn’t fit with the mission."
Despite community pushback, the university proceeded to discontinue all eight undergraduate programs, in addition to the M.A. program in English & Humanities. Nick Munson, Marymount director of communications, stated that the decision was driven by enrollment numbers for the programs, not financial reasons.
