Board of Governors Commission on Higher Education Access & Attainment (CHEAA)
CHEAA was created in 2012 to study gaps in supply and demand that could hinder attainment of goal of 90,000 bachelor’s degrees per year by 2025
Charged with answering these questions:– Is the pipeline of college-age students going to be able to
produce a sufficient number of college-ready students?
– Should all these new students attend our state universities, or is there a major role to be played by the State’s colleges?
– Is there going to be any need in the near future for additional universities or colleges to meet this demand?
– Will the increased demand be evenly distributed around the state or will there be some geographic areas disproportionately impacted?

Florida Polytechnic’s Other Priorities in Program Offerings
While many of Florida Polytechnic’s programs will focus on needs identified by CHEAA, the new university also plans to:
Develop limited number of programs not on the target list but economically or academically central to institution’s mission (e.g. entrepreneurship, mechanical engineering)
Stimulate workforce demand and employment opportunities in excess of current projections in key areas, especially Enterprise Florida clusters and areas of strategic emphasis
Ensure flexibility to adapt to new industries and technologies
Consider student demand, cost, faculty supply, cross-teaching opportunities, and accreditation issues in evaluating viability of specific program offerings

Degree Discipline Classifications and Initial Accreditation Programs
Course content and degree programs can be configured in different ways– Narrow, separately advertised programs that are subsets of conventional
disciplines (e.g. Computer Software Engineering, Web Page Design, Marketing, Microbiology)
– Specific interdisciplinary programs (e.g. Accounting and Computer Science, Robotics, Energy Conversion)
– Broader conventional categories (Business, Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics, Biology)
– Broader interdisciplinary categories (Science and Technology, Liberal Arts and Sciences)
The latter two can include specialized concentrations or course content, or can be tailored (like New College) for each student
For initial accreditation, a small number of broad programs may be most practical and allow for flexible, lower-cost curricular structure
16
MG
T O
F A

RIC
A, IN
C.
Rationale for Limited Number of Separately-Identified Degree Programs
Each degree program needs regular faculty leadership Best to limit # of degree programs; use temporary, part-time
faculty for specialized content, concentrations within programs
Subheadings indicate potential course content under each degree– this could be developed in stages– course content more important than CIP codes in terms of meeting
state needs
Faculty would cross-teach where content areas listed more than once
Could identify list of 50 or so courses that would need to be offered to satisfy requirements in multiple degrees
Programs could be split into subfields as they grow, as supply and demand dictate

Co-Op / Internship Programs
Advantages• Close alignment with industry• Affordability for students • Increased institutional capacity• High job placement rates• Credit toward graduation• Credit toward professional engineering
licensure experience requirements
Disadvantages / Challenges• Absence of large base of technical employers
in region (many co-ops are urban-based)• Competition with established co-op programs• International student visa authorization
challenges• Scheduling coursework around co-ops• Credit transfer complications
How Does it Work?Students spend a portion of their program in a
paid or unpaid internship or “co-op” that also provides credit toward the degree. This can be as little as a summer, or as much as 18 months.
As an option, virtually all business and engineering programs offer some form of co-op or internship program.
At a smaller number of institutions, they are a requirement or near-universal practice.
Extensive or mandatory co-ops that offer substantial amount of credit toward the degree are the most innovative and offer greatest potential for cost savings to students and institutions.
Who Does It?
Optional/Short-term• Almost everyone
More Extensive Use• Drexel• Florida Institute of Technology
ProTrack™• University of Florida (“no-fall”
program)

Example: Drexel University Co-Op Program
CommentsDrexel’s co-op model is worth considering; if
students can be offered paid work assignments as part of their degree program, it could substantially reduce net costs.
Curriculum / StructureDrexel offers a range of undergraduate programs
that all include near-universal co-op internships, but has core strengths in engineering and business.
Students attend regular courses full-time freshman year, then alternate enrollment with one to three six-month paid co-op assignments. Average salaries are around $15,000 for each six month co-op. Students who do one co-op graduate in four years; those who do three graduate in five.
While many co-ops take advantage of a large employer base in the Philadelphia area, students participate in co-ops around the country and the world as well.

Disadvantages / Challenges• Absence of large base of technical employers
in Florida Poly region• UCM model not yet fully ramped up
How Does it Work?
University of Central Missouri, along with Metropolitan Community College and Summit Technology Academy, is creating a new campus where high school students can enroll during their senior year and earn combined high school and college credit in programs that work closely with industry partners who co-locate facilities on campus.

Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s Programs
Advantages• Shorter time to degree• Lower cost to student • Many schools offer special scholarships and
other incentives• Combines broad undergraduate education
with more specialized professional education• Institution retains very best students longer
How Does it Work?Combined-degree programs offer students an
opportunity to complete a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in a shorter period of time. Such programs permit students to double-count graduate courses toward both degrees, thus reducing the time to graduate, often by a semester or more. There are, broadly speaking, two types:
A. Individual Student Bachelor's/Master's Program: developed by individual student in consultation with her academic advisor.
B. Structured Bachelor’s/Master’s Program: articulated curriculum that combines an existing undergraduate and master’s program.
Who Does It?
• Most of the major public universities
Disadvantages/Challenges• Heavier course load• Student need or demand unknown• Possible additional workload for faculty or
need for additional faculty or resources• Resource requirements budget unknown
What Do They Recommend?
• University of Maryland• University of California Santa

Example: Rutgers University
Curriculum / StructureRutgers offers three combined programs with a BS in Engineering which make it possible to complete a bachelor’s and master’s degree in 5 years:
BS-MS/BS-MEng (Master of Science, or Master of Engineering)
BS-MBA (Master of Business Administration – Future Leaders MBA)
BS-MBS (Master of Business and Science)
Who Does It?BS-MBA (Master of Business Administration – Future Leaders MBA)
For the first three years, students follow a typical undergraduate degree track. While in the fourth year, they will take courses toward the MBA, completing both programs in the range of 5 to 6 years.
BS-MBS (Master of Business and Science)
The BS/MBS combines a conventional business degree with the content of an MS and an MBA degree. The program pairs a student’s science concentration with core courses in finance and accounting, marketing, communication and leadership, management of science and technology electives, ethics and a capstone course covering entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship.
Recommended study sequence for BS-MS/BS-MEng
Summer following 3rd year: apply for summer internship/fellowship
Senior year: take 6 credits (independent research and thesis) beyond the minimum for graduation, which count towards the MS/MEng degree as well as toward the BS. Suitably prepared students can take graduate courses.
Fifth year: 3 courses and 3 credit hours of research each semester
Summer/Fall following 5th year: Write MS thesis, take comprehensive final exam or MEng project report

Example: BS/MS Computer Science
Curriculum / StructureMore than half of the colleges at Florida State
University offer a combined bachelor’s/master’s program. The combined program in Computer Science allows up to 12 credits of coursework to be jointly counted toward both the BS and the MS degree.
Students in this program are permitted to substitute up to 9 graduate computer science hours for the equivalent number of undergraduate computer science advanced elective hours. In addition, students may substitute 3 graduate computer science hours for the same number of non-CS elective hours. The student will always take at least 20 hours as a graduate student.

Competency-Based Learning
Advantages• Competency-based education will play a bigger
role in 21st century higher education• Can use existing courseware and materials—
reduces need for classrooms, labs• Saves students time and money• Important strategy for serving adult students
Disadvantages / Challenges• Many STEM areas may be difficult to deliver on
a competency model• Federal and state financial aid programs are
just starting to change to accommodate competency
• Few faculty and staff conversant with competency-based models
How Does it Work?While most of American higher education in the
last hundred years has been based on the credit hour, there is a growing movement to allow students to demonstrate competency in skills and content areas regardless of the amount of “seat time” or contact time they have spent in class.
In a competency-based model, the critical skills and content knowledge for a degree are defined by appropriate faculty, and students are assessed according to when they believe they have mastered elements of the content.
In place of regular instructors, students can be assigned “coaches” or mentors who help them find, use, and understand course materials or negotiate internships and other real-world experiences.
Who Does It?• Many institutions offer some form of
competency-based education, often in the form of “challenge” exams to get credit for specific courses.
• Very few organize entire degree programs around competency, although that is changing.
• Western Governors University, a private nonprofit college, is a national leader in competency-based education.
• Northern Arizona University is the first public four-year institution to offer an entirely competency-based degree.

Programs
• Computer Information Technology• Liberal Arts
• Small Business Administration
Student Support• A faculty mentor is assigned to each student
to coach him/her through program• Discipline mentors tutor students in specific
subjects• Lead faculty create the course content and
assessments• Evaluators provide feedback on student work
What Is Personalized Learning?• Self-paced, starting any time• Competency-based, using faculty-identified
competencies from existing NAU degree programs
• Implemented and monitored online• Inexpensive, at $2,500 per six months, with no
extra fees or textbook costs• Partnered with Pearson Education to provide
adapted versions of published online course content
• Supported by Gates Foundation $1 million “Next Generation Learning Challenge” grant
• Started spring 2013; goal to serve 8,000 students in five years

“3-2” Dual Bachelor’s Degree Engineering Programs
Advantages• Allows engineering to focus on core competencies• Highly qualified, pre-screened students• Low barrier to entry• FL Poly could be less expensive option than many 3-2
partners
Disadvantages / Challenges• Five years may be perceived as too long• Competition with prestigious engineering
schools could be a challenge• Size of market probably limited
How Does it Work?Many liberal arts and comprehensive colleges
that do not have engineering programs partner with engineering schools to create programs that offer two degrees in five years, with the first three spent at the non-engineering institution and the second two at the engineering school.
Students then graduate with, for example, a degree in mathematics from the first institution, and a degree in mechanical engineering from the second. General education requirements and some major prerequisites are shared between the two degrees.
Who Does It?• Florida public universities do not, since they have
their own engineering programs• Florida private colleges do partner, primarily with
private engineering programs• Columbia University and Washington University are
among the top engineering destinations, each with dozens of 3-2 partners, including many in Florida
• Columbia, for example, partners with Jacksonville, Rollins and Eckerd College to provide 3-2 degrees
• A small number of public institutions in other states have 3-2 degree relationships
• SUNY Fredonia, for example, has 7 private and 7 public engineering partners, in and out of NY state

Three-Year Bachelor’s Degree
Advantages• Reduced costs to students• Fuller use of facilities and faculty/staff through higher
summer enrollments• Boosting graduation rates
Disadvantages / Challenges• Small institutions or majors may not be able to
offer enough courses• Student interest so far has been limited• Harder to do for / limited examples in STEM
How Does it Work?To accelerate students’ time to degree and save
on total attendance costs, some institutions are offering three-year degree options in selected bachelor’s programs. In these programs, all requirements for a degree can be completed in three years instead of four.
Such programs usually involve year-round full-time attendance and may include certain online or hybrid course components as well.
Even without formal three-year degree programs, three-year degrees are often possible at many larger institutions that have substantial summer course offerings or where students bring large amounts of accelerated credit.
Who Does It?
Some three-year degrees possible at many institutions in selected majors.
Three-year degrees have been specifically created and promoted at:

Global Partnerships—International Engineering & Business
Advantages• Takes advantage of Florida’s geographic location and
economic integration with global markets• Expands career opportunities for students• Attracts international students• Florida is an under-served market, with low rates of
study abroad and foreign student enrollment at public institutions
Disadvantages / Challenges• Scheduling/integrating curriculum content
across boundaries• Language barriers (though English is often the
language of instruction in other countries)• Additional costs for students• Difficult to integrate with transfer-intensive
programs
How Does it Work?Partnerships with institutions in other countries
can provide students and faculty with access to ideas, people, and markets that are increasingly important in a globalized 21st century.
While study abroad is a common feature of American undergraduate education, engineering programs require special care to ensure the sequencing of course material fits with standard-length degree programs.
The Global Engineering Education Exchange provides a common set of procedures for exchange, in which students can spend a year abroad in one of the partner institutions, with credit toward degree requirements at the home institution.
Who Does It?
• 60 institutions participate in the Global Engineering Education Exchange
• 31 are in the US• Only 1 is in Florida (Embry-Riddle)• 20 US public institutions participate• No Florida public institutions participate

Recommendations
Short-term– Implement elements of competency-based programs as a
way to reach adult learners/near completers• Prior learning assessment• Options to “test out” of certain courses• Focus on degree completion
– Start developing co-op programs– Create and advertise at least one 4+1 (bachelor’s/master’s)
pathway– Explore 3-year degree pathways (but do not depend on
them)
Longer-term, opportunistic– Global partnerships– 3+2 (dual bachelor’s) partnerships– More aggressive competency-based options

History of Enrollment Modeling
3/20/2013Fl Poly Enrollment Planning 39
Some of the earliest scholarly literature regarding postsecondary enrollment projections was published in the 1950’s and 1960’s.
Many of the methods being discussed throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s literature are still in use at institutions today. Markov chain models
cohort flow models
regression models
A big focus for scholars in projecting enrollment through the 1970’s involved the creation of computerized simulation models intended to apply to multiple institutions
Common Methods for Projecting Enrollment
3/20/2013Fl Poly Enrollment Planning 40
SurveysSubjective judgment

Recent, mathematical
Common Variables
3/20/2013Fl Poly Enrollment Planning 41
No matter the modeling method, certain variables can typically be found across model types population projections for the surrounding area
high school graduation rates
historical institutional enrollment data (does not apply here)
enrollment data from a competing institution
various economic measures, such as unemployment rate, consumer price index, average per capita income
Additional data helps inform the process incoming student grades
test scores (SAT, ACT)
assorted demographics
Goals for FPU Enrollment Model
3/20/2013Fl Poly Enrollment Planning 42
Be available immediately
Use a phased approach by starting out with a high-level projection and then evolving it into a more complex model
Use inputs that are reasonably estimated
Since we have no enrollment history, we must use estimations for semester-by-semester continuation rates, year-to-year retention rates, graduation rates, and expected new student enrollments
Be usable
Allow for FPU leadership to readily run “what-if” scenarios
Provide necessary output for BOG workplan

Enrollment Model Development
Phase I: Research and Planning
3/20/2013Fl Poly Enrollment Planning 44
Goal: Project planning and research (March 2013)
Present the project plan to Strategic Planning meeting on March 22nd; incorporate any clarification needed in time for the March 28th BOG meeting
Provide any modification or clarifications needed in time for the April 2nd BOT meeting
Phase II: Baseline Model
3/20/2013Fl Poly Enrollment Planning 45
Goal: Develop baseline data and Excel formulas with PowerPoint “user guide” (April 2013)
This initial model may be simplistic in nature, but sufficient to provide “what-if scenario” planning exercises and enrollment data necessary for the BOG workplan submission.
Phase II: Baseline Model, continued
3/20/2013Fl Poly Enrollment Planning 46
Model inputs will incorporate: Incoming students by term at different levels: freshman,
transfer, master's
Continuation and transition rates
Headcount to FTE conversion rates
Model outputs will provide 5-year forecasts for: Total fall headcount for undergrad and graduate
Annual student credit hours by level (Lower, Upper, Grad I)
Total SCH may be broken out by fundable/non-fundable, in-/out-of-state, delivery mode
The model will not provide program level plans, term-by-term results, or degree projections
Phase II: Baseline Model, continued
3/20/2013Fl Poly Enrollment Planning 47
Collect benchmarking data for peer institutions or other SUS institutions to determine reasonable initial estimates for rates (retention, graduation, HC to SCH ratios, term-by-term enrollment)
Test the model with various what-if scenarios to ensure its efficacy, make model adjustments
Create a PPT report that describes how to use the Excel file, and anticipated future developments
Phase III: Enhanced Enrollment Model
3/20/2013Fl Poly Enrollment Planning 48
Goal: Based on user-feedback, create a more sophisticated enrollment model to allow for term-by-term planning and tuition revenue projections. (May 2013)
Phase III: Enhanced Model, continued
3/20/2013Fl Poly Enrollment Planning 49
Enhance the outputs of the baseline model to provide details for:
Term-by-term headcount enrollment by level: freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, master's
Term-by-term student credit hour projections by level: Lower, Upper, Grad I
Degree award projections
Credit hours by in-/out-of-state or any other break-outs needed for planning purposes
Outputs do not include program-level (major) plans

Fall headcount = fall retained + fall new Fall retained = survivor rates applied to new student numbers
Fall new = new students transitioning from the summer + new students in the fall
Summer headcount = spring retained + summer new Spring retained = estimated transition rates based on best guess of
student behavior (informed by peer institution data)
Summer new = may be prevalent for freshmen
Spring headcount = retained from fall + spring new Retained from fall = best guess transition rates
Spring new = may be prevalent for transfers
Each of these are computed by student level

Student Conduct and Discipline 6.011
Student Ombudsman 6.011
This regulation outlines the minimum eligibility requirements for FTIC students seeking admission to an
undergraduate degree program. Institutions may establish more stringent admission requirements. The university
board of trustees must develop regulations governing the admission of FTIC students consistent with the BOG
regulations. To be eligible for admission, an FTIC student must: earn a standard high school diploma or equivalent,
submit SAT or ACT scores, submit a complete official high school academic transcript and college transcripts, if
appropriate, earn two high school credits in one foreign language or American Sign Language. Students with a
disability are eligible for modification of any requirement for admission. The regulation outlines how students may
meet SUS admissions eligibility requirements through standard admission, alternative admission (profile
assessment), or Talented Twenty. Detailed high school academic unit requirements are provided in the regulation.
The regulation requires any changes in admission standards be included in the undergraduate catalog and posted on
the university Web site.
This regulation requires that the board of trustees establish a student disciplinary system, including a code of conduct,
processes for disciplinary proceedings, internal appeals process and description of rights of alleged victims in the
student disciplinary proceedings. The regulation requires that each university publish, at a minimum on its Website,
the regulations and policies comprising its student disciplinary system, including the code of conduct. The regulation
requires that each university comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) and other
state and federal laws relating to the confidentiality of the records and reports of students.
The regulation requires that the university board of trustees establish a student ombudsman function to advocate for
fair and equitably administered processes and identify problem solutions. It requires that information about the
ombudsman role must be published in the student handbook, at a minimum.
