The past academic year (i.e., 2025-26) was marked by indicators pointing to troubling trends regarding CSU's enrollment. New information paints a similar picture for the beginning of the 2026-27 academic year. Turner College administrators recently cancelled four fall semester course sections in its MSOL program. These sections, which include MSOL 6135, MSOL 6155, MSOL 6165 and MSOL 6175, were cancelled due to low enrollment. Two of these sections had 10 students enrolled on the date of cancellation, while the remaining two course sections enrolled seven and five students, respectively. This decision establishes a minimum enrollment of at least 11 students, if not more, for fall business courses to be considered populated enough to avoid cancellation. To further consider what these decisions mean for the MSOL program, the table below shows current enrollments by course section for fall 2026. Note that with the above course section cancellations, there are no courses for which multiple sections are offered. This is a major shift from prior semesters. Also note that there are two course sections in the table below that currently enroll only 11 students, lending credence to the idea that minimum enrollment for fall courses in the Turner College is 11 students. Lastly, another feature of the table below is that MSHR 6126, one of the two courses at the minimum enrollment, is being taught by an individual who is on faculty at another institution.
