FULL PROPOSAL AND
BUDGET
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
1.������ Briefly
describe the proposed new program.�
Please indicate if it is an expansion of an existing program; a new
program; a cooperative effort with another institution, business, or industry;
or an on-campus or off-campus program.�
Attach any formal agreements established for cooperative efforts.
�����������������������������������������������������������������������������������
The University of Montana presently offers a Bachelor of
Arts Degree with a l) major in Political Science and a 2) major in Political
Science with an Option in Public Administration.� The addition of new options in l) Public Law, 2) American
Politics, and 3) International Relations and Comparative Politics would offer
Political Science majors formal recognition of specialized study completed and
would respond to student demand expressed in a recently completed program
assessment.
���������
2.������ Summarize
a needs assessment conducted to justify the proposal.� Please include how the assessment plan was developed or executed
and the data derived from this effort.
The Department of Political Science recently completed two
program assessments as part of its regular l0-year self-study cycle and in
preparation for the Year 2000 Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges
(NASC) accrediting evaluation.� Our
assessments revealed that students wish to see clearer linkages between their
personal interests and career goals and the courses they take.� These options promote such linkages by
grouping courses and the development of core competencies according to
well-established areas of interest and career opportunities.���������� ��
3.������ Explain
how the program relates to the Role and Scope of the institution as established
by the Board of Regents.
The recognition of three new options is simply a modest
revision of a program already consistent with the role and scope of the
institution.
4.������ Please
state what effect, if any, the proposed program will have on the administrative
structure of the institution.� Also
indicate the potential involvement of other departments, divisions, colleges,
or schools.
There will be no effect on the administrative structure and
no change in the involvement of other departments.
5.������ Describe
the extent to which similar programs are offered in Montana, the Pacific
Northwest, and states bordering Montana.�
How similar are these programs to the one herein proposed?
The Department of Political Science has offered an Option in
Public Administration for many years.�
The addition of three new Options will provide a strong offering by the
University of Montana.� Similar
�options� are available from political science departments in the geographical
region under such labels as �options,� �concentrations,� �certificates,�
�emphases� and �minors� (e.g., University of Idaho, Idaho State University,
Boise State University, South Dakota State University, North Dakota State
University, University of Wyoming, Washington State University, University of
Utah, Utah State University) and indeed nationwide.�����
6.������ Please
name any accrediting agency(ies) or learned society(ies) that would be
concerned with the particular program herein proposed.� How has this program been developed in
accordance with the criteria developed by said accrediting body(ies) or learned
society(ies)?
Not applicable
7.������ Prepare
an outline of the proposed curriculum showing course titles and credits.� Please include any plans for expansion of
the program during its first three years.
The curriculum remains unchanged.� The 3 new options simply allow students to receive formal
recognition for specialized study within their major in Political Science.� The Political Science major requires 36
semester credits; the options (as is the case with the present option in Public
Administration) would require 39 semester credits with course work focused in
the option area.
FACULTY AND STAFF REQUIREMENTS
1.������ Please
indicate, by name and rank, current faculty who will be involved with the
program proposed herein.
All tenure-track members of the Department currently work in
one form or another with students taking courses in the proposed options.� There will be no change following formal
approval of the options.
2.������ Please
project the need for new faculty over the first five-year program.� Include special qualifications or
training.� If present faculty are to
conduct the new program, please explain how they will be relieved from present
duties.
No need for new faculty; see # l above.
3.������ Please
explain the need and cost for support personnel or other required personnel
expenditures.
No additional need.
CAPITAL OUTLAY, OPERATING EXPENDITURES, AND PHYSICAL FACILITIES
1.������ Please

2.������ Please
