According to an August 20 email obtained by the Herald from Deborah Nelson, Dean of the Division of the Arts and Humanities, Ph.D. admissions in nearly all of its humanities departments, including English language and literature, classics, art history and linguistics, will be suspended for the 2026-2027 academic year. The U. of C. has since said that only philosophy and music composition will continue to admit new students in the division. Admissions will also be paused in the Crown School of Social Work, the Harris School of Public Policy and several doctoral programs in the Division of the Social Sciences, including anthropology and political economy. |

Why didn't they reduce admissions, rather than halting them entirely? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5874731&forum_id=2E#49942506) |

Date: June 16th, 2026 6:39 PM Author: zarathustra halting admissions entirely is extreme but top phd programs often bank on a meaningful % of their students being funded by some kind of grant or fellowship and that racket is being seriously squeezed. ironically and sadly the fields that will be less affected will be those with a greater % of foreign students because they receive foreign funding. still foolish to close admissions.
