Canadian colleges have begun cutting back on academic programs as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government imposes a cap on international students. Ontario’s Sheridan College has suspended 40 academic programs, including six in its animation, arts, and design faculty, citing a projected decline in student enrollment.

The college is also reducing its staff. Sheridan College expects a 30 percent drop in student enrollment next year, which will result in a $112 million loss in revenue. The programs being suspended include 13 business programs.

However, students currently enrolled in these programs will not have their degrees affected. The college also announced it will conduct an efficiency review of 27 other programs. Sheridan College, which has campuses in Brampton, Mississauga, and Oakville, stated that some programs will be suspended starting in May.
