PUG has removed some master's degree programs from ExcelTrack

[walruspanda]

Here's my best guess. Looking back at the first module in each of my MSIT classes last term, here were the number of students in each class:

Required for MSIT and MS Cybersecurity:
IT513: 19
IT590: 10

Required for MSIT only:
IT504: 10
IT526: 7

Required for MS Cybersecurity, optional for MSIT:
IT535: 4
IT592: 3

All these seem to be the only sessions of the classes in ExcelTrack.

Making some assumptions and extrapolating from that, every term PUG was getting maybe 13-17 new students in MSIT and 5-8 students in MS Cybersecurity in ExcelTrack, with (as you'd expect) some attrition along the way as students decide not to continue on. I assume they just decided those numbers weren't worth the effort in continuing the programs.

My BSIT classes had for the most part north of 20 students in each module, and the one MBA class I took had north of 30, so those numbers are a little more sustainable -- which is why I assume they're still available in ExcelTrack, at least for now.
