Queen’s University has decided to suspend enrolment to its Bachelor of Fine Arts program for the 2012–13 school year. Due to budgetary constraints, “the Faculty does not feel it would be responsible to continue to admit students at this time,” said Associate Dean of Arts and Science Gordon E. Smith. While enrolment numbers are up, the program’s small classes and special classrooms have become expensive to finance. The 107 students currently enrolled in the BFA program have been guaranteed degree completion.
