FAQs - New Degree Program Intent Document and Process
Questions | Answers |
Why is a market analysis required before we can begin work on an Intent Document? | To ensure that there is sufficient demand for the proposed program, a market analysis is required before any work begins. When the market analysis is complete, the Dean will review it and determine if an Intent Document can be prepared. |
The Program Intent Document asks for program structure. How detailed do you expect that description to be? Do we need to provide information about required core courses and tracks? | We are looking for a more general description of the structure at this stage of the process. If the intent document is approved then a more detailed structure will need to be provided. |
Can we include Table 1s or any attachments or appendices to the Intent Document? | At this stage of the process we do not need Table 1s or any attachments. |
Will the feedback be submitted anonymously? | The campus feedback will be collected via Qualtrics and we do ask for identifying information - name and email address – in case there is follow-up needed. This is consistent with what we did in the previous process. |
Will the entire community be able to see the submitted feedback? | The entire campus community will not see the feedback. The Provost is the only person who views both the feedback and respondent name. |
Will the new program proposers have an opportunity to see the submitted feedback and respond? | The Provost will reach out to the new program proposers and the Dean to respond to the feedback as needed. |
Are Certificates and Advanced Certificates also part of the new process or are you intending this only for new degree programs? | New Certificate and Advanced Certificate proposals will NOT go through the New Degree Program Intent process. |
