The shift has been happening over decades. In 1970, education and combined social sciences and history degrees were the most popular majors, according to federal statistics.
Today, the most popular degree is business, at 19 percent of all bachelor’s degrees, while social sciences trail far behind at just 8 percent of degrees.
Many courses on the endangered list are also dissonant with an expanding conservative political agenda. And many public universities are loath to invite further scrutiny of their already stagnant state subsidies.
