New Program Idea Worksheet

Program Title Intelligence Studies

Why are we interested in this (in one sentence)?

Intelligence gathering and processing in a responsible way does not just fulfill a market need but also fits our Franciscan mission.

Summarize the concept in two sentences:

Organizations have both a strategic (long range) and operational (short term) need to identify that which is not known (intelligence gaps) within the operational Domain. Data collection and analysis of the operational domain provide leadership with information necessary to develop operational strategy and promote effective policy resulting is successful completion of organizational mission objectives.

Leveraging Our Strengths

1. Who is the primary student/consumer for this idea?

Students who desire to pursue a career as research or intelligence analysts within business entities such as banking, criminal investigations (Local ,State & Federal Law Enforcement), or national security (Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Homeland Security, CIA) will be involved in the collection, correlation and analysis of data.

2. How does this idea address their need?

Student skills developed will include a knowledge of the functions and processes that define the national security, law enforcement, and business intelligence communities;

A reading competency in a language;

A competency in computer information systems; Broad understanding of world and American history;

Knowledge of comparative governments and political philosophies;

Ability to produce written and oral reports and assessments based upon research, correlation and analysis;

A familiarity of computer software and database management; A general understanding of statistical techniques.

3. How does this INVOLVE EXISTING skills/knowledge/assets/programs?

History, English, MIS, Political Science, Sociology, Psychology, Criminal Justice, Anthropology, Language, and Math (Statistics) all would contribute to the student’s pursuit of a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Intelligence Studies.

4. How does this BUILD NEW skills/knowledge/assets/programs?

Language – Arabic, Farsi, Chinese.

Intelligence Studies - A new set of courses related to Intelligence would be required and may include such topics as: Introduction to Intelligence Analysis, Advanced Intelligence Analysis, Professional Communications, History of Intelligence, Writing for Intelligence, Introduction to Law Enforcement Intelligence, Competitive Intelligence, American Military History, Intelligence and National Security, Strategic Intelligence, Terrorism, Cyber Analysis, Advanced Competitive Intelligence, and Advanced Criminal Intelligence. Also, Intelligence Internships within the Buffalo area may be bountiful. Buffalo currently has a Regional Computer Forensics Lab, one of only 16 in the country.

Evaluating Fit with Mission

6. Describe how this fits our collective institution mission.

Values - Hilbert College embraces its Catholic Franciscan heritage and values. Students from diverse backgrounds are educated in liberal arts and professional programs to become informed citizens committed to serving and strengthening their communities.

A Catholic University, St. Bonaventure University is committed to the constant pursuit of distinction. As such SBU fosters the development of knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate and ethical individuals within vital engaging learning environments, ever mindful of such Franciscan values as individual dignity, community inclusiveness, and service to others.

The Fit - An efficient and effective intelligence program seeks, through analysis, to understand the reality and truth concerning the appropriate method with which to accomplish the mission of any particular agency or private enterprise. Those collecting, correlating, analyzing, and those who create policy and strategy, both of which are the byproduct of analysis, should be highly educated, committed to the sort of ethical values represented in the Franciscan tradition and committed to the betterment of the community they serve.

7. How can you substantiate this?

(3)

graduation of Intelligence Studies students, I offer the Mercyhurst Mission Statement for review and consideration:

Mercyhurst Mission Statement - Consistent with its Catholic identity and Mercy heritage, Mercyhurst University educates women and men in a culture where faith and reason flourish together, where the beauty and power of the liberal arts combine with an appreciation for the dignity of work and a commitment to serving others. Confident in the strength of its student-faculty bonds, the university community is inspired by the image of students whose choices, in life and work, will enable them to realize the human and spiritual values embedded in everyday realities and to exercise leadership in service toward a just world.

Market Data to Support the Program

8. What does the job market look like for graduates of this program?

The current and future job market look good for a career as an Intelligence Analyst or any analyst for that matter. A cursory review of the Job market for intelligence analysts suggests thousands of jobs are available in both the government and private sector.

In 2009 CNN Money ranked the Intelligence Analyst job as 9th out of 50 of the best jobs in America. At that time a 15% job growth was predicted through 2016. At that time 51,000 intelligence analyst jobs were available.

According to Payscale.com in 2012, most intelligence analysts earned between $36,000 and $103,000 annually. Of those with 1-4 years of experience, most reported earnings in the $29,000-$80,000 range. However, the value of experience in the profession was reflected in the salary range for those who had 10-19 years of experience: most intelligence analysts with that amount of experience reported earning between $50,000 and $113,000.

US News and World Report released its “Best Jobs of 2014,” and the top-100 list included analysts and analytically inclined occupations, including market research analyst (No. 15) and operations research analyst (No. 23). In the category of “Best Business Jobs,” market research analyst and operations research analyst ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectfully.

8a. What job data will you seek and from where?

It is anticipated that Burning Glass will research current and future job data with regard to intelligence analysts.

9. What could enrollment look like in the first three years?

(4)

much from the students. Also, there is a caveat presented to the students who apply for or enter the program. They are advised that many, if not most, will be required to obtain a Top Secret Clearance to successfully compete for intelligence analyst jobs. Poor life decisions, drugs, law enforcement issues may preclude them from getting a job in this field following graduation.

9a. Where can you get this enrollment data?

The best source for data regarding enrollment, other college competition, and other assessments would be Mercyhurst University.

10. What other institutions offer a similar program/offering?

Mercyhurst University, located in Erie Pennsylvania offers a superior Intelligence Studies course of study leading to a BA. The Mercyhurst preeminence in the intelligence field makes Mercyhurst as strong competitor for students. Location with regard to proximity of the three campuses is probably less of a concern from a competitive point of view than is the expertise in the field enjoyed by Mercyhurst.

10a. Which of these institutions could serve as a model for this program?

The Mercyhurst model has been used throughout this document and plan.

10b. Who would you consider the biggest competitor for a similar offering?

Mercyhurst.

11. To the extent possible, provide details of the program when it is graduating students.

Program Elements Existing New

Courses:Language- Level I, II III and IV Language. – Arabic, Farsi, Chinese.

Intelligence Studies - A new set of courses related to Intelligence would be required and may include such topics as:

Introduction to Intelligence Analysis, Advanced Intelligence Analysis, Professional Communications, History of Intelligence,

Writing for Intelligence,

Introduction to Law Enforcement Intelligence, Competitive Intelligence,

American Military History,

Intelligence and National Security, Strategic Intelligence,

Terrorism, Cyber Analysis,

Advanced Competitive Intelligence, and Advanced Criminal Intelligence.

Also, Intelligence Internships within the Buffalo area may be bountiful.

Other Courses: Computer Operations, Visual Basic Programing, Programing, Networks, Database Management, Macroeconomics, US History, Statistics, Introduction to Psychology, Contemporary Social Problems, American Criminal Justice,

Drugs, Crime, and Criminal Justice, Advanced Computer Applications, American Government,

World Geography, Geopolitics, Political Theory.

Faculty: 7 Full Time, 10 Adjunct

Institutional Assets: Of the 21 existing courses and the 18 new courses it may be said that there is considerable experience between SBU and HC whereby if existing courses are not actually offered in an intelligence format they may be modified to such a format and where there is a need to develop a new course the expertise exists within the two entities to accomplish such development.

Other: It may be that Health Analytics, Business, Intelligence and Computer Security all may have common linkage, from a research and analytical perspective, which may be useful in coordinating and deploying those programs. “Big Data”, its acquisition, management and application to a specific mission is at the heart of these programs.

New Program Idea Worksheet

Program Title ___Cybersecurity ( Bona Computer Science and Hilbert Computer Security and

Information Assurance)

Why are we interested in this (in one sentence) ?

Cybersecurity is a growing field with many jobs to fulfill the increasing and critical need in society to secure information .

The idea is to coordinate Hilbert’s Computer Security program ‘s hands-on applied investigative and forensic techniques with the theoretical education in Bona Computer Science program to produce well –prepared and versatile graduates .

Leveraging Our Strengths

Both traditional -age students and adult career –changers .

Students will get technical computer science training and fundamentals combined with hands-on investigative and forensic security training =marketable skills with BS degree ,plus excellent preparation for graduate programs

Each existing program produces well-prepared graduates within the scope of current curricula using the skills of current faculty. Hilbert CSIA program is based on the 10 domains of knowledge required for CISSP ( Certified Information Systems Security Professional ) from ISC2 , a major certifying body for information security . The Bona program is based on the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery ) recommendations for an undergraduate major in computer science.

(9)

Hilbert CSIA program would be enhanced if students could take Bona Computer Science courses. St. Bonaventure CS students could take Computer Security courses.

Current CS major at Bona would be maintained.

The current Hilbert CSIA program is based on the 10 CISSP domains, but other models (Syracuse U ) could be considered if the curriculum is reviewed and revised to coordinate with Bona Computer Science.

This idea has some elements found in two other proposals, Intelligence Studies ( new program similar to Mercyhurst University program ) and Forensics proposal ( new program with 3 forensics tracks- biology , chemistry , digital forensics )

Evaluating Fit with Mission

Securing information is connected to respect for the individual and service to the larger community.

Bona CS students already do technical work for local non-profits. Hilbert CSIA graduates and interns serve the public interest by securing information in government agencies, banks, insurance companies and non-profits .

Market Data to Support the Program

Very strong job market- cybersecurity is in the media daily

ISC2 reports that there is “growing skills shortage in security professions “ worldwide Federal jobs increasing

(10)

Occupational Outlook Handbook 37% growth for info security analysts Professional Organizations –ACM , ISC2 and other appropriate organizations Government agencies US DOD will add 4000 jobs at Cyber Center 2014-16 Job Postings

Other: Program needs full time cybersecurity faculty for consistency , quality To develop program , a faculty leader ( Masters’ or PhD ) needed to champion and develop the program

Internships are critical to prepare students

Need to re-establish internship network in Buffalo area and beyond

Need to develop relationships with grad programs and encourage students to apply for graduate scholarships

(13)

Do The Numbers

12. Lay out the timing to develop this program. [Starting point is a decision to pursue the program. Ending point is first graduate of the program.]

Year one – coordinate curricula of respective programs , figure out logistics of offering courses in 2 locations- can we offer synchronous classes at both locations ? What is the most efficient format to deliver courses ?

Figure out how to offer courses at Bona and Hilbert so currently enrolled students can finish current degree programs

Year two- program could begin –most CS or CSIA courses do not start until 2d year (200 level or higher) start at 200 level

Year three 300 level courses - could produce first graduates who started as transfers

Year four 400 level courses, first graduates who started as freshmen

This rollout would date from the time that the programs are coordinated and marketed as degree programs and first students enroll as transfers or freshmen

Process could be shorter for transfer students

$ for technology ( update Bona labs , servers , synchronous classrooms , software licenses ) FT faculty hires – new PHD to lead program, coordinate resources

Half-time director to run labs, coordinate logistics for synchronous classes $ for marketing

Cybersecurity training for Bona CS faculty

Apply for grants –National Science Foundation grants for information security education Invest in getting program up and running

Increased enrollment will produce more revenue later

FT faculty $65, 000 salary plus benefits (could be higher)

$100,000 for technology and logistics (could be partly funded by grants)

Half-time Director (2 course release plus $10,000 stipend) or possible $30,000 annually $50,000 marketing – essential for recruiting and enrollment growth

$10,000 cybersecurity training for Bona CS faculty ( could be grants)

New Program Idea Worksheet

Program Title: Forensic Science concentrations: added to Biology, Chemistry and Computer Science

(May have to go with a Forensic Science Program with concentrations in Biology, Chemistry and

Computer Science – see Appendix 2)

Market demand is high (both in students looking for programs and the job market looking for educated and skilled hires) and we have the means.

Forensic Science is an emerging and growing field encompassing natural (SBU) and applied sciences (Hilbert). By combining the strengths of the two campuses, we can accommodate the demand. Even though the financial investment may be significant, especially in light of new scholarships for the Bonaventure science components, this would be outweighed by the significant increase in exposure and visibility of the University in the

marketplace.

Leveraging Our Strengths

Students with a clear idea of working in forensics; there is a great interest among perspective students both at Hilbert and Bonaventure.

Meets the needs of all aspects of forensics, a comprehensive FEPAC ACCREDITED program for the high demand field

Hilbert College: FS/CSI, CJ and CSIA: internships at local, state and federal level St. Bonaventure: Science and Computer Science

Brings together existing resources for a completely comprehensive program;

internships for forensic biology/chemistry/digital concentrations with State Police Lab

Extension or sharing of existing programs Programmatic extensions based on existing programs

(16)

Evaluating Fit with Mission

Dramatically increase student engagement; many graduates will be public servants assisting the criminal justice system in proper adjudications and overturning faulty convictions, therefore serving and

strengthening their communities; increases skills, ethics and compassion.

Hilbert and Bonaventure pride themselves on graduating responsible, ethical citizens- these characteristics would lead to exceptional public servants.

Market Data to Support the Program

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (1/8/14) the job outlook for a “Forensic Technician” was slower than average at 6%; however, this title is inclusive to all aspects of forensics and does not separate out lab analysts vs. police/detectives. It is well known that in some agencies, especially law enforcement, new jobs are not created but openings occur due to regular attrition of staff through retirements, etc. Another source from January 2013, DFI News ,

(http://www.dfinews.com/articles/2013/01/forensic-laboratory-2030-scientific-environment) shows a very different outlook for forensic laboratory staff: 23% growth over the past 10 years, and a projected 44% growth in the next 10 years, as caseloads are expected to increase 33% over the next 5 years. See the below figure from the above linked article:

Figure 1: Growth projection for forensic sections by order of magnitude in the year 2030

Digital Forensics often gets grouped with Cybersecurity and according to another article from DFI News (6/2013) ( http://www.dfinews.com/news/2013/06/colleges-expand-programs-cybersecurity-threats-grow), 65,000 new jobs will be created by 2020.

Fall 2014/Spring 2015 FS/CSI program and new biology concentration enrollment from Hilbert

Below excerpt from U.S. News and World Report’s Rick Newman (May 2012)

( http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/rick-newman/2012/05/14/where-the-jobs-are-and-the-college-grads-arent):

“Biological sciences (5 percent of grads). If you can tough it out in this demanding major, you're probably in good shape. The biomedical industry, for example, is likely to be a major source of healthcare innovation in the future. Jobs in scientific research and development should grow by a healthy 14 percent over the next five years, according to IBISWorld. Computer and information science (2.4 percent of grads). Every one of the top 10 trends on job-search website Indeed.com involves technology or social media. Job growth in

E-commerce, Internet publishing, and other information-technology fields is expected to be far stronger than average for the foreseeable future. And, oh yeah, the dream startup Facebook was founded and built by coders, not by psych majors.”

These above quotes show that we can increase our student body through the increasing demand for the sciences.

AAFS.org has all programs around the world listed – no forensic biology or digital forensic programs near WNY; Buffalo State has a FEPAC conditionally accredited forensic chemistry program

The only FEPAC (Forensic Educational Program Accreditation Committee) accredited forensic biology undergrad programs are at Cedar Crest College (Allentown, PA). Other accredited bachelor programs are in forensic chemistry or general forensic science/investigative sciences – link to the listings of FEPAC accredited programs: http://fepac-edu.org/accredited-universities

Some concern about why students would go into a forensic track bench science vs. just the straight bench science and go to graduate school for the forensic specialty; Michigan State just ended its Forensic Bio bachelors but kept its Forensic Bio masters

(18)

http://fepac-edu.org/

(19)

Let’s Get Specific

Courses:

Most bench science courses taken at SBU, most forensic science/criminal justice/legal courses taken at Hilbert

To accommodate extra students in bio/chem, must run courses during the summer terms and/or offer more science courses at Hilbert

If students want to take summer science courses, along with regular fall/spring

coursework, they can graduate in 3 years – however financial aid must but considered in this proposition – SBU has a new faculty handbook that could allow a faculty course load of summer/fall with spring off to accommodate such

This would be a very strong Forensic Science curriculum. Having two separate

concentrations after taking core science and math courses, would give students a chance to customize their degree. An Introduction to Forensic Science course should be taken early on and would probably require Introductory Biology and General Chemistry as pre-requisites. It should be taught as a science course and not as a criminalistics course. As our proposal and FEPAC recommends, additional faculty would need to be hired with forensic science work experience. I could teach Intro to Forensic Science and Forensic Toxicology. Someone would need to be hired with experience in Controlled Substances and possibly Trace Evidence to teach Forensic Chemistry as well as someone with Forensic Biology experience to teach that course. Also more money would need to be invested into lab space and for more and newer instrumentation. Getting some mock courtroom experience would put graduates at an advantage as they enter the job market. They should also be made aware early on that the screening process for

employment is quite stringent. Most screenings involve background checks, drug testing and polygraphs (to which Hilbert has extensive experience in assisting students in the preparation for such processes). An internship is an important part of any good program

DFI News (1/2013) shows a very different outlook for forensic laboratory staff: 23% growth over the past 10 years, and a projected 44% growth in the next 10 years, as caseloads are expected to increase 33% over the next 5 years.

Program Title ___A unified (dual campus) School of Business

Due to powerful factors like our Franciscan mission, highly dedicated faculty at our sister institutions, our complementary geographic locations, and the brand power of AACSB accreditation, we can genuinely develop the preeminent Franciscan Business School in the world.

While continuing to serve our traditional student populations, a unified accredited School of Business will create unprecedented growth in business enrollments at Hilbert (at graduate and undergraduate levels) allowing for a comprehensive menu of complementary yet synergistic business programs on both campuses. The synergy should allow the deployment of greater numbers of accomplished faculty and

distinctive programs (like Industrial Management, Healthcare Management, Global Management for instance) that operationalize our Franciscan mission.

Leveraging Our Strengths

Typical business students… There is no need to stop servicing the current student profile that seeks a business degree – at SBU or at Hilbert College. By mission, Franciscans may choose to include within their community of scholars those that may not be ‘worthy’ elsewhere. Both SBU and Hilbert College currently serve a variety of students – from honor students to ‘less than ideally prepared’ students. We plan to continue serving all types of students and make use of programs and services to

maintain/enhance retention throughout our programs.

AACSB-accredited business schools tend to attract all levels of students that seek the seal of approval for quality business degrees. As such, we believe that there will be a significant growth in demand,

especially at Hilbert College, for non-residential students seeking the AACSB-accredited degree. The “mix” may be different than currently and the group may be significantly larger, but we do not foresee a change in admission standard. The challenge is to produce AACSB-quality graduates with the students that enroll.

(26)

One of the worst feelings is paying more for something than it is really worth. That feeling is even worse when you graduate and find out that you cannot get a job with the degree you have. Or, when you find out that your future graduate school doesn't recognize your bachelor's degree. AACSB-accredited schools are considered the best in the world.

AACSB-accredited business schools ...

are recognized worldwide by top employers and other universities. have employers that only hire their graduates.

say being accredited helps them hire and retain the best professors and researchers. have students that are more international and are likely to earn higher levels of education. have students with high-graduating GPAs

are challenging and teach the best skills that give a distinct advantage in the real world.

Employers know a good business school from one that doesn't produce knowledgeable graduates. Here are the facts:

Many top, global corporations only recruit from AACSB-accredited schools. AACSB-accredited school graduates are offered better, more competitive salaries.

Students at AACSB-accredited schools have more employers that are interested in them after graduation.

Companies also have studied the differences between employees who have attended AACSB-accredited business schools and those who have not. For instance, one company (i.e., Intel Corporation) found that employees who were educated by non-AACSB-accredited business schools had lower levels of performance. Because of this, the organization now only reimburses tuition from AACSB-accredited business schools.

In AACSB-accredited programs, minimum faculty qualifications must be met by program, campus, delivery method, etc. All current resources will be needed and must be added to. Assuming current levels of full-time faculty at both institutions, it is assumed that a minimum of 3 ‘academically qualified’ (e.g., research active) faculty members will need to be recruited prior to the consolidation to allow AACSB standards to be continuously met. Additional faculty will be needed to meet future growth demands. Estimate provided below.

Current business undergraduate programs can be consolidated (assuming a solution for Liberal Arts components). We believe that there will be growth at the MBA level as well to allow concentrations at first (e.g. CFA-approved Finance for instance) and creation of separate weekend/accelerated and evening/flexible programs at Hilbert and 4+1/5th years in Olean.

(27)

on both campuses while majors and concentrations may be delivered on one campus. We also foresee heavy use of technology (on-line (e.g., Blackboard), Panopto, LifeSize, etc.) and matrix administration (campus administrators, discipline leaders).

The enhanced brand will generate significant numbers of new students. Through load sharing and faculty growth, more specialized business programs may be added to traditional offerings like BBA and MBA.

Evaluating Fit with Mission

In light of the several ethical scandals in corporate settings over the past decades and the recent global financial meltdown, our Franciscan values are today more relevant and important than ever. The immense popularity of Pope Francis, who demonstrates incredible leadership skills to the world population on a daily basis, can be offered as an example of the relevance of a Franciscan ethos.

This can be substantiated by perusing extant literature in business research and the popular press. We believe that by operationalizing Franciscan values in a business context we will be developing the preeminent Franciscan Business School in the world is within our grasp.

Market Data to Support the Program

(28)

We constantly review trends from sources like the federal bureau of labor statistics and reports from our accreditation body – AACSB. For instance, our recently approved BS in Industrial Management will produce degrees for jobs that show double digit (12%-19%) growth over the next 10 years.

Due to the power of the AACSB brand, we believe that the Hilbert undergraduate program will triple in size. Hilbert-based MBA programs will double in size. The Olean-based MBA may grow more moderately --by 10-25%. However, we believe that the Olean-based undergraduate population may decrease by 5-10% because students will choose to remain in the greater Buffalo region as commuter students rather than being residential in Olean.

Ultimately, these projections are professional opinions based on market conditions.

Several institutions offer AACSB-accredited programs. Our product will be differentiated by the powerful Franciscan mission applied to the business context and the reputation of our faculty & programs.

We have used the example of Mercer University internally to develop our plan. Mercer is a religious (Baptist affiliated) institution that resides on two campuses and several community centers in

Georgia. The ‘main’ campus of Mercer University is in rural Macon GA while the secondary campus is in uptown Atlanta. Mercer’s Business School currently serves about 850 students, which is actually less students that we expect in our dual-campus model in Western New York.

A number of AACSB-accredited schools can serve as peers or aspirational peers. Indeed, as part of the reaffirmation process, the School must compare its metrics and operations to similar and aspirational peers. I suspect that Mercer University and Farleigh Dickinson University, because of their multi-campus structure, may become interesting schools to emulate. It is very important to note that Farleigh

Dickinson supports separate Division 1 and Division 3 athletics on its two main campuses but operates a single multi-site accredited business school (a requirement of the accreditation body).

10b. Who would you consider the biggest competitor for a similar offering? Canisius.

Let’s Get Specific

11. To the extent possible, provide details of the program when it is graduating students.

(29)

Courses:

Both campuses offer BBA degrees with collections of majors/concentrations. These are full 60+ credit hours contributions.

SBU offers the MBA on both campuses. The curriculum consists of up to 51 credit hours.

Hilbert College offers the MPA in Buffalo

SBU is implementing a new BS in Industrial Management, recently approved by NYSED

Faculty:

SBU contributes 24.5 FTE faculty in 4 academic departments.

Hilbert College may contribute 5 +/- FTE faculty distributed in more general areas.

Approximately 40 FTE faculty will be needed to support the growth of the School in the next 3-5 years. That is a growth of 6-10 additional faculty member s over current levels. Initially, it is believed that to maintain AACSB accreditation, that a minimum of 3 ‘Academically Qualified’ faculty members must be hired prior to consolidation.

New Swan Business Center at Olean Campus

Very functional classroom buildings at Hilbert Campus

Other:

The University needs to address the ‘transportation problem’ between campuses because, we believe, that a true dual-campus may require faculty and student travel to be truly synergistic. Indeed, many SBU faculty from the School of Business travel weekly to Hilbert College to support teaching endeavors.

We strongly suggest developing a solution that will flip the commute from a negative into a definite asset. We believe that a small fleet of high-end coaches that have been refurbished with work desks and quality mobile Internet access and that would offer regular service between campuses (every 75-90 minutes) would achieve that goal.

(30)

12. Lay out the timing to develop this program. [Starting point is a decision to pursue the program. Ending point is first graduate of the program.]

It would only take a few weeks to establish an initial coordinated teaching schedule that would take into consideration, HR, technology, and consolidated programs. New departmental and administrative structures will be needed. Most importantly, recruiting of academically qualified faculty (especially for Hilbert College where most of the growth will occur) would also be needed. The School would need to be at a steady state (e.g., meeting all AACSB mandated standards) immediately (within 1 semester) but it may take several years to build the quality of the faculty to the level we would like to see. The

accreditation body would be provided with a transition plan that demonstrates our joint commitment to maintain and enhance our position within AACSB.

As stated earlier all current resources will be needed and added to. Current business undergraduate programs can be consolidated quickly (assuming a solution for Liberal Arts components). We believe that there will be growth at the MBA level to allow concentrations at first (e.g. CFA-approved Finance track for instance) and the eventual development of separate weekend/accelerated and evening/flexible programs at Hilbert College and 4+1 / 5th years in Olean. These are already operational and offered on both campuses but would be expanded.

Ultimately, we foresee a unified faculty (building towards 40 FTE) with teaching duties on either campus, with concentrated duties on one campus. Core and high-occupancy courses would be available on both campuses while majors and concentrations may be delivered on one campus.

We also foresee heavy use of technology (on-line (e.g., Blackboard), Panopto, LifeSize, etc.) and a matrix administration structure (e.g., centralized School leadership, campus administrators, discipline leaders). That being said, a unified faculty must interact in authentic face-to-face ways to truly be unified. Beyond

opportunities to interact in traditional ways, we foresee the installation of large ‘video walls’ in both business centers for students and faculty to have a ‘peek’ into the other environment – thus

supporting casual virtual interactions…

Need to “front load” academically qualified scholars (estimated to be 3 ‘AQ’ individuals to start).

Student tuition (significant increase expected)

Scholarships (Grant overheads)

Auxiliary funding (e.g., professional development, corporate degrees, etc.). We believe that this line-item is a significant growth area for the School of Business.

(31)

$1,000, 000-$1,500,000., predominantly for new faculty members and support staff to service the growth of the School, with a relatively quick return on investment. Indeed, we predict large increases in students (especially at Hilbert College) as the consolidation takes place.

Going Forward

Need for qualified faculty and the will of the institution to front load the investment.

Cooperation with current faculty.

Hiring strategically.

Program Title _Joint Journalism/Digital Media and Communication Program_

Call it the Jandoli School of Communication

The combination of SBU’s renowned journalism school with its focus on writing and ethics and HC’s department with a focus on digital media and documentary filmmaking leverages our strengths.

defining our curriculum to provide students with greater options for course selection and career paths. Re-defining our internship and outreach initiatives to allow for greater student involvement in the community, particularly diverse others.

Leveraging Our Strengths

Prospective students with an interest in: public relations

advertising broadcasting filmmaking

reporting photojournalism data/research

In a broad range of fields including, but not limited to: sports

politics health care business

non-profit or for-profit businesses pop culture

(33)

Graduate:

Students interested in a degree in Integrated Marketing Communication or Strategic Leadership. Students in these programs could be coming from our undergraduate options or could be parents of students (as the requirement for the Strategic Leadership program is that the student has worked for at least three years). Both campuses have established 4+1 options for students at their respective

campuses. It would be easy to expand our SBU options to allow HC students to participate in the IMC program (and perhaps MSL) as a 4+1 option.

It offers a wider variety of options to address student interests and job opportunities. It also gives us, as educators, an opportunity to create programs and options for students to make them better

communicators and to become members of a wider community.

It would draw on the expertise of current faculty and equipment/technology. There is an interest in media-related issues in other disciplines as well.

Providing students with a broader base of skills and knowledge by giving them greater choices in terms of classes, internships, etc.

Evaluating Fit with Mission

Conveying information in an ethical way; creating media-savvy graduates who can assess and interpret information. Students on both campuses have been taught to gather, analyze and report/communicate information. Our main thrust is to tell stories – the media is different, but the message is the same. How do we convey what is happening in our communities in an ethical way?

There are also opportunities with the existing Journalists’ Workshop and Synapse Matters courses on the SBU campus to pursue a larger mission in the Western New York area. The Journalists’ Workshop is intended to provide an online newspaper/broadcasting experience to students at SBU and allow them to cover the local area. It could be expanded to include in-depth coverage of surrounding communities in the Buffalo area. Synapse Matters is our student-run strategic communication agency that takes on real-world clients in the southern tier. This could easily be expanded to include non-profits and small businesses in Western New York. Classes in the DMAC program at HC have already incorporated service learning components. This would be an extension of that idea to include both campuses.

Programs like this lend themselves to external funding opportunities. Please see NY Times article “Local News, Off College Presses” April 13, 2014 attached to this proposal.

At SBU, we have been pursuing accreditation through ACEJMC, the industry’s accrediting body. As part of this pursuit, we have developed programming mindful of industry standards. Additionally, at SBU and HC, we have advisory councils comprised of alumni and other industry professionals who regularly advise us on what is necessary and what is missing – so that we may fill in the blanks. One way of ensuring that we are meeting standards and are keeping with the mission of both universities is by including ethical standards and discussions in each of our courses. Additionally, we include commentary and discussion of diversity and globalization issues in each course so that students are prepared for the global stage in a culturally sensitive manner.

ACEJMC is undeniably something that the Hilbert Digital Media and Communication department has been interested in pursuing. Resources to go after such an accreditation have been lacking, until now when there is a possibility of merging with SBU. The ACEJMC accreditation is a gold standard in the field of Journalism and Communication education. A list of ACEJMC accredited institutions include some of the best Journalism schools in the country including Columbia University, NYU, Syracuse, University of Missouri, UC Berkley to name a few. The accreditation would no doubt raise a program’s stature in the academic world as well as with their alumni and prospective students.

(35)

Market Data to Support the Program

Expanding job market as media continues to shift to technology-based areas (internet, etc.), as well as companies looking for individuals to do multiple COM-related jobs.

The following data have been taken from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook and note how much in terms of percentage each profession is expected to increase in available jobs between 2012-2022.

Public relations and advertising specialists and managers will increase 12% through 2022. Multimedia artists will increase by 6%.

Market research analysts will increase by 32%.

Technicians (behind the scenes folks) will increase by 9%.

Film and video editors, producers and directors will increase by 3%. Photographers will increase by 4%.

Technical writers will increase by 15%

The following information details the nature of the news industry as detailed by the Pew Research Center, State of the News Media, 2014 (summary noted below)

Advertising still drives news-gathering revenues followed by the audience, personal wealth, capital investment and philanthropy. Other up and coming revenue streams include event hosting, marketing services and web consulting.

The news industry still represents $63-65 billion in annual revenue.

The business model is changing with digital outlets popping up like BuzzFeed, aggregators like the Huffington Post, The Blaze, Drudge Report, Gawker. Our own SBU alumnus - Adrian Wojnarowski – is a sports writer for Yahoo Sports, an online sports journalism outlet. Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, bought the Washington Post; Vox Media is investing in Ezra Klein’s explanatory journalism project; EBay founder, Pierre Omidyar’s investment in First Look Media are all highlights of a changing landscape driven by digital pioneers.

Newspapers are still the dominant form of news (online or in hand) followed by local TV news, cable, weekly newspapers, network TV news, non-commercial news, news/talk radio,

digital/native news, and news magazines.

Anecdotal Information

In conversations with alumni and professionals in the field, it is clear that the field is changing at a rapid pace. Additionally, the traditional “news” job now includes web development, video production, photography and mobile use. These skills are also necessary in fields in which public relations and advertising is the norm. Non-profit and for-profit companies rely on folks with these skills more and more. It goes beyond being able to write, but being able to communicate with whatever medium is necessary and strategic for the task at hand.

Pew Research Center, State of the News Media, 2014

U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook (available as an online database)

Our combined enrollments are about 450 undergraduate and graduate students

A three year estimate of 550 is not unreasonable. It could be higher if we continue to pursue online options.

Current enrollment can be gathered from both schools

Ithaca College, Syracuse University, Canisius College, Buffalo State (Buffalo State is also the only college/university in our primary marketing area with ACEJMC accreditation), SUNY Fredonia, SUNY Brockport, SUNY at Buffalo, Niagara University, Mercyhurst University. Arguably, Ithaca and Syracuse would be the primary competition if we combined programs. No other college/university noted above could reasonably compete if we were to combine programs.

The institutions noted are in our marketing area and would potentially draw the same students. If you are looking outside the area, many colleges and universities across the country would have similar programs. Not many or none would have a two-campus model like this.

Ithaca and Syracuse would be the most reasonable if we stick within our marketing area. If we look outside the area, we would suggest thinking big and looking at Columbia, New York University, Missouri, etc.

Those universities in our immediate marketing area as noted above. That said, if we combine forces as outlined/anticipated, there will no competitor in our area offering what we will.
