The University of Chicago's Arts and Humanities Division is scaling back Ph.D. admissions for the 2026-27 academic year across multiple departments. Seven departments will have reduced admissions, including Art History and Music. Other departments, such as classics and linguistics, will completely halt new Ph.D. student admissions. Additionally, the Crown Family School of Social Work and the Harris School of Public Policy are also pausing admissions. This approach is part of a comprehensive review aimed at evaluating the programs' missions and ensuring future academic quality.
