Can I sue my school?

I doubt it. When a school cancels a program, they usually more or less "fade it out" while the remaining students are graduating. If you are going to be able to graduate with the degree, then your degree will not suffer from the fact the school no longer has that degree. That happens all the time in schools. Times changes and majors change.

However, if you can't graduate because the degree will be completely gone before you finish the requirements, you need to talk to the school administration right now and get this settled. This is not law suit grounds. It's simply a major inconvenience at most.

Are you serious?

What would be the remedy that you want? A tuition refund? Or force the school to keep it open?

From your post it sounds like the school is closing the program after you graduate (is that right? or are they closing it before you graduate?). If so, they really haven't broken any laws. If colleges could not close programs once anyone has joined the program or graduated from it, then no college would ever be able to cancel any program to adjust its curriculum.

If you want to sue someone, they have to have done something illegal. Not just something that you don't like. If you sue the school, they will probably win, and they will probably get a judgment against you for their attorneys' fees as well.

But of course, you should consult a licensed attorney if you want an answer that you can be sure about. People on here can only give you general information and/or their guesses.

You can't sue based on what this *might* do to your career prospects - which probably won't be all that much. Most employers care more about a school's general reputation than any individual program. And no program, no matter how good, guarantees you a job to begin with, especially in a field where your body of work makes such a difference. Organize a protest if you feel that strongly, but in the end, you'd wind up spending far more trying to take this to court than you'd stand to gain.

you might. I would talk to an attorney just to see because that was the reason you were going there. Usually what schools will do is they will phase out the program. They will let all the current students finish that program and get the degree but they won't let any new students into the program until there are none left in it.

Probably... or won't carry weight? You need facts before you can even think about going to an attorney. How long have you known the program was going to be phased out? You should have transferred a long time ago.

No. Simply because they are dropping the program doesn't mean your degree is worthless. As long as you can finish the degree and it has the same level of accredidation as it did when you entered the program (and it should), you have no case. You're welcome to pay for the school to keep the program, but they're probably dropping it because they can't afford it, and you have no say over what they do.

simple answer. NO

too many people are suing these days for the dumbest of things. The law is starting to realize that people are just trying to get over in life. If your school decides to shut down an operation, then they reserve that right...just like you reserve the right to leave the school and find another if you dont agree with their decision

probably not. School's have enormous discretion in setting their programs. You will still have an overpriced degree like the rest of us. Take whatever comfort in that that you may.

I'm not sure if you can sue for that. Consult with an attorney. I do think schools have the right to change at any time

Good Luck

No, you could always carry your credits to a new school that teaches that course.

If not enough people signed up for a course, the school will cancel it.
