I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM

A. Describe the proposed degree program (i.e., its nature, scope, and intended audience).

The master of science in security studies program will provide students with an interdisciplinary understanding of the diverse domestic and international threats to U.S. security. These threats may be posed by natural disasters or by man, whether through governments or non-state actors such as terrorist groups. The program is designed to encourage students to evaluate both threats and responses to those threats at the international, national, state, and local levels. The program will also increase student knowledge of the landscape of response coordination required to meet challenges posed by such threats. The major goals of the program are to develop student critical thinking about security issues within a changing environment and to instill graduates with the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to gain professional employment in a security-related field. The program thus seeks to integrate knowledge from a variety of fields—criminal justice, public administration, political science, environmental health and safety, the natural sciences, computer technology, etc.,— to develop a holistic approach to the study of security and the development of responses to security threats. The program is professional in nature—designed to develop skills for future policy analysts and program administrators, but would also be good preparation for entrance into a relevant PhD program.

Degree Requirements: Initially, the program will focus on four areas of emphases: U.S. homeland security policy, science and technology security, international security, and environmental and occupational safety and health. Other areas of emphasis (such as networking) may be considered for approval for the future development of the program. The ECU program will require 36 semester hours of graduate work, composed of a required core of seven courses: an introductory course, a research skills (methodology course), an internship (for those with no significant experience in the field of security), a thesis course, three additional core courses; and a four-course area of emphasis in one of the above-listed areas. The degree program will be offered on-campus and online.

B. List the educational objectives of the program.

Programmatically, this new degree seeks to graduate students who will be able to address natural and man-made events that directly impact the state and nation; provide professional development opportunities for non-traditional students; build leadership capacity and promote economic development in the region; and develop collaborative endeavors with the business, industry, and the military.

The program’s educational objectives are to graduate master’s prepared professionals who will

· exercise an interdisciplinary knowledge of the new security environment and the challenges it poses for local communities, states, the nation, nonprofits, and the international community;

· possess the theoretical, analytical, and practical expertise necessary for public, private, and nonprofit sector careers in security policy and emergency response;

· teach in associate degree programs at the community college level;

· demonstrate interdisciplinary skills in public management and leadership related to emergency response, interagency cooperation, security analysis and preparation, management of chemical, biological, nuclear, and radiological (CBNR) incidents and threats, problem solving and decision-making, and project planning and design;

· develop leadership skills through case study examination of leadership in action and analysis of policies designed to guide leaders’ decision-making; and

· exhibit expertise and leadership skills applicable to security planning and responding to natural disaster emergencies, terrorist events, CBNR events, and other human made emergencies requiring large scale coordinated responses.

C. Describe the relationship of the program to other programs currently offered at the proposing institution, including the common use of: 1) courses, 2) faculty, 3) facilities, and 4) other resources.

The program is an inherently interdisciplinary degree. The following units will all be contributing courses and faculty to the program. (See letters of support in appendix A.) The Harriot College of Arts and Sciences (HCAS) as well as other ECU colleges and schools may contribute faculty to the elective courses in the program.

· Department of Criminal Justice (College of Human Ecology)

· Environmental health program in the Department of Health Education and Promotion (College of Health and Human Performance)

· Department of Technology Systems as well as the Department of Computer Science (College of Technology and Computer Science)

· Department of Political Science (HCAS)

· Department of History (HCAS)

· Planning program in the Department of Geography (HCAS)

· International Studies (HCAS)

All courses necessary to begin the program have been established and approved by the requisite campus bodies.

The program will be housed in the Department of Political Science, which currently administers the bachelor of arts in political science, bachelor of science in political science, master of public administration program, and the graduate certificate in security studies. The master of science in security studies (MSSS) degree and the graduate certificate in security studies will be housed in the Department of Political Science (POLS), Harriot College of Arts and Sciences (HCAS), with a minimum of 51 percent of the coursework and program content to be delivered by POLS faculty. The balance of the coursework is to be provided by contributing departments in the HCAS and other colleges.

An interdisciplinary committee of all contributing faculty members, regardless of their home department, shall serve as the governing faculty body overseeing the curriculum, admissions, and operational details of the program. Contributing faculty members are those regularly teaching courses in the MSSS program. The chairperson of the Department of Political Science is an ex officio member of the committee.

The director of the program shall be selected from the faculty in the Department of Political Science faculty active in the security studies program.

The certificate in security studies is currently being used as a concentration in the MPA program, the master of arts in international studies (MAIS) program, and the master of science in criminal justice program. The master of business administration program in the College of Business has approved adding the certificate in security studies to their list of approved concentrations for MBA students, thus adding a new pool of students to the certificate, which will also impact the program.

The program will also take advantage of the research and program skills and experience of ECU’s Center for Security Studies and Research. The center director and associate director are supporters of the proposed degree and are participants in the development of this proposal.

II. JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROGRAM (Narrative Statement)

A. Describe the proposed program as it relates to the following:

1. Institutional Mission and Strategic Planning.

This program is consistent with the Department of Political Science’s unit strategic plan which emphasizes the development of this new master’s-level program. It is also consistent with the Harriot College of Arts and Sciences’ (HCAS) strategic planning aim to develop the leadership capabilities of our students. As noted in the HCAS’ plan “…to lead in the principled application of knowledge and to apply skills that improve the life of our communities, society, and world.” The proposed program fits tightly with this objective in its efforts to educate students how to be effective leaders in the field of security studies.

The program is also very consistent with both ECU Tomorrow and the UNC Tomorrow plans in many ways. Thematically, this program links to the objectives of those plans by:

· Planning strategically to meet the needs of the eastern region and the state. This program reflects a new interdisciplinary approach to the study of security related issues, both man-made and naturally occurring issues. The many security-related events that have occurred since 9/11 serve as a clear indication of the need for more professionally prepared individuals to work in this area[E1] . Moreover, as a region of the state with a large number of military bases and as a region subject to severe tropical weather, eastern North Carolina and North Carolina in general particularly need a cadre of trained professionals who understand the origins of these threats to security, their patterns of development, and how to respond in appropriate ways. This will only increase as the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process relocates a four-star command from Atlanta to Ft. Bragg, along with the US Army Reserve Command. These relocations alone are expected to bring another 20,000 military and dependents into the Fayetteville area. ECU already has an on-base presence in the Fort Bragg education center (staffed with two people) and this support will be instrumental in assisting students in enrolling in this program. ECU also has a working relationship with Seymour Johnson Air Force Base and Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station. It is currently negotiating with the US Coast Guard installations to bring expanded ECU coursework to their areas. In these ways, it will also contribute to the economic development of the region by enhancing the security job related skills of those professionals. This program will also strengthen the university’s connections to its military personnel through the provision of a desired master’s- level program. It is expected that much of the enrollment in this program will come from the ranks of the military.

The proposed program is designed to be one that could be completed by students attending strictly in the distance education environment. This will facilitate participation in the program, particularly by non-traditional students who may be unable to attend campus-based courses. Furthermore, this format will allow for a larger number of military personnel stationed in North Carolina to pursue their master’s degree through ECU. As a distance education program, this would also allow for ECU to become more connected with people throughout North Carolina as a whole and reach wider audiences.

This theme reflects the following aims of UNC Tomorrow and of ECU Tomorrow:

· UNC Tomorrow

· 4.4 Our Communities and Their Economic Transformation (p.27-28)

· 4.4.1 UNC should increase its capacity and commitment to respond to and lead local economic transformation and community development

· 4.4.2 UNC should focus specific effort in meeting the needs of rural and underserved areas of the state.

· 4.4.3 UNC should seek to align appropriate campus programs with the strategic economic plans (including strategic and cluster plans) of their regions and the state, recognizing the unique differences and challenges of our state’s economic and geographic regions.

· Section 5: What changes should be made within UNC to respond to the needs of our state? (p. 37-38)

· 5.7 UNC should encourage and facilitate interdisciplinary and inter-institutional collaboration among its institutions.

· 5.8 UNC should continue efforts to establish accountability and performance measures that ensure and demonstrate transparently its succecss in carrying out its missions.

· ECU Tomorrow

· ECU students will be prepared to compete in the global economy

· We will be responsive to the changing demands of the economy, offering excellent undergraduate and graduate programs that provide the global skills and knowledge necessary for success in the twenty-first century. (p.15)

· We will build a leadership culture within the university ….

· Network with state and community agencies to build leadership capacity. (p. 21)

· Promote economic development in the region to provide attractive career opportunities in order to retain the next generation of leaders. (p. 21)

· ECU will invest in people and programs.

· We will invest in programs that improve access to our resources for communities and individuals. (p. 27)

· We will provide ongoing educational and learning opportunities to support the continued development of a competitive workforce for North Carolina. (p. 27)

· Developing real programs for the real world. As noted above this program is responding to changes in the market place and the demand for new skills and knowledge. The rise of new unanticipated and significant security threats has illustrated the need for new ways of thinking about how we should perceive these threats conceptually and how we should operationally respond to them. This program is intended to respond to that demand for such employees. Its curriculum and methods of instruction will be heavily based on the use of real world case studies and examples as well as hypothetical cases intended to develop student abilities to comprehend and respond to future events. Moreover, the program is interdisciplinary and will provide students with broad knowledge of security issues across these disciplines. Finally, the UNC Tomorrow plan calls for UNC institutions to educate their students to be successful in the 21^st Century. This program focuses on issues that will be pertinent and marketable through the 21^st Century and beyond. The program and its proposed courses are also designed to be flexible enough to meet the changing definitions of security and challenges to our security well into the future.

This theme reflects the following aims of UNC Tomorrow and of ECU Tomorrow:

· UNC Tomorrow

· Section 4: Critical Knowledge and Skills for Global Competitiveness (p.12-13)

· 4.1.1 UNC should prepare its students for successful professional and personal lives in the 21^st century, equipping them with the tools they will need to adapt to the ever-changing world.

· ECU Tomorrow

· ECU students will be prepared to compete in the global economy

· We will be responsive to the changing demands of the economy, offering excellent undergraduate and graduate programs that provide the global skills and knowledge necessary for success in the twenty-first century. (p.15)

· Leading, partnering, and collaborating. This program is built on the idea of collaboration. As an interdisciplinary program, it assumes that no one discipline has a monopoly on the best ways to conceptualize and respond to security related issues. The very foundation of this program is in the cooperation and partnering of differing academic and professional disciplines. Students are expected to not only learn in this manner, but also learn to apply diversity of thought on the job. Their performance as leaders on the job and in their professional fields of employment will depend upon their ability to appreciate issues and threats from an interdisciplinary perspective. In addition, this program seeks to build close working relationships with the military programs in North Carolina and nationally, as well as develop a number of other professional partnerships with other security related fields and agencies.

This theme reflects the following aims of UNC Tomorrow and of ECU Tomorrow:

· UNC Tomorrow

· 4.7 Our University’s Outreach and Engagement (p. 35-37)

· 4.7.1 UNC should apply, translate, and communicate research and scholarship to broader audiences.

· 4.7.3 UNC should develop a strategic plan for scholarly public service on each campus that is detailed and specific in definition and scope.

· 4.7.4 UNC should communicate its resources and expertise to wider audiences.

· ECU Tomorrow

· We will build a leadership culture within the university ….

· Network with state and community agencies to build leadership capacity. (p. 21)

· Promote economic development in the region to provide attractive career opportunities in order to retain the next generation of leaders. (p. 21)

· Supporting and preparing students. This program is dependent upon the students and faculty taking an initially holistic approach to security studies, breaking those issues into manageable areas of analysis, and then bringing them back together in a capstone experience. As a field of study, security studies is based heavily on the use of case studies and the application of lessons, concepts, and theory to real world problems. Emphasis will be placed on the development of the students’ analytical, critical reasoning, and decision-making skills; written and oral communication; proficiency in technological advances; global awareness; and a spirit of teamwork and leadership so that they may be successful in a global 21^st century world.

This theme reflects the following aims of UNC Tomorrow and of ECU Tomorrow:

· UNC Tomorrow

· 4.2 Our Citizens and Their Future: Access to Higher Education (p. 15-19)

· 4.2.1 UNC should increase access to its educational programs – including academic courses, degree programs at all levels, and certificate programs – for traditional students, non-traditional students, and lifelong learners.

· ECU Tomorrow

· We are committed to increasing access to higher education for all students. (p.17)

· We will expand our distance education programs, delivering a high-quality East Carolina education to the thousands of North Carolinians who cannot be campus residents.

· We will pilot new programs for first-generation students and underserved populations.

· We will tailor programs to the needs of working adults through weekend and distance education models.

· ECU will invest in people and programs.

· We will invest in programs that improve access to our resources for communities and individuals. (p. 27)

· We will provide ongoing educational and learning opportunities to support the continued development of a competitive workforce for North Carolina. (p. 27)

· Assessing and improving quality. The success of this program will not be measured just in such terms as enrollment numbers, graduation rates, or faculty research productivity. Those are important, but more important is the degree to which value added learning takes place in the classroom that can be employed intellectually and on the job. As such, this program will develop comprehensive set of learning objectives against which student progress will be individually and collectively measured from the program’s initiation. The results of those assessments will be regularly evaluated by the faculty and will serve as a primary basis for modifying the program’s curriculum and methods of instruction. These assessments will also be shared with an external advisory council for their consideration.

This theme reflects the following aims of UNC Tomorrow and of ECU Tomorrow:

· UNC Tomorrow

· Section 5: What changes should be made within UNC to respond to the needs of our state? (p. 37-38)

· 5.8 UNC should continue efforts to establish accountability and performance measures that ensure and demonstrate transparently its succecss in carrying out its missions.

· ECU Tomorrow

· We are committed to student learning and success.

· We will use meaningful assessments throughout the college experience to ensure that learning is measured and achieved. (p. 15)

2. Student Demand.

The program builds on the strengths of the graduate certificate in security studies, which began accepting students in fall 2004. As of December 9, 2008, thirty-one students are enrolled in the certificate program, this number having enrolled with little or no publicity or recruitment on the part of the certificate administration. About one-half of these students have indicated a desire to continue study in a full master’s program, if ECU were to offer such a program. Thus, we can say that we have a built-in clientele of approximately fifteen students who would begin the program as soon as courses began to be offered. In addition to this, the certificate administrators regularly receive several requests for information about graduate programs per week. It is thus likely that ECU could enroll twenty-five to thirty students per year in the program. We anticipate that about one-third of the students would be on-campus and two-thirds would be DE. In addition, the pending base realignments will bring a large number of mid-level officers to the Fort Bragg area to whom this or a comparable degree would be very attractive. We believe the DE component of the program will make it available nationwide and thus accessible to more clients.

3. Societal Need. (Note: For graduate, first-professional, and baccalaureate-professional programs, cite manpower needs in North Carolina and elsewhere.)

Several features will allow ECU to serve the community through this program.

· ECU began offering a graduate certificate in security studies since fall 2004. As of December 9, 2008, thirty-one are enrolled in the certificate. More than one-half of these students have indicated interests in pursuing a master’s degree if one were offered at ECU.

· Some 250,000 active duty military, dependents, and retired military live east of I-95 in North Carolina. There is an active interest in security studies as a field of study on the part of active duty military personnel and their dependents. A master’s degree has become virtually a requirement in the military for officers to be promoted to the O4 level. Many retired military personnel are looking for a second career and this local program will provide them with the skills necessary to be competitive.

· Active duty military personnel require different treatment than do more traditional students. Asynchronous Distance Education (DE) is an optimal tool for the education of military personnel. All of the core courses and many of the elective courses are now, or are planned to be, offered via DE. ECU offers some 65 percent of the DE courses in the UNC system.

· The ECU Center for Security Studies and Research (CSSR) will be contributing teaching faculty and research and practical opportunities for students enrolled in the program.

The program in general and the area of emphases in U.S. national security policy is being designed to meet the developing Homeland Security Defense Education Consortium standards for the master's degree in this field. ECU is a member of HSDEC, and ECU faculty members have contributed to the development of these standards. These standards are still in a proposal stage of development by Homeland Security, but those discussions have been influential in the design of this program.

The program will be offered with four areas of emphasis through a combination of on campus and distance education methods. Students will be able to complete the core of the program wholly via DE or through a combination of both DE and on-campus course work. Elective courses will be made available through either on campus or DE as the contributing departments allow. Most departments at ECU offer graduate courses through both methods.

There is no intention to group students in the program into cohorts at this time, as has been done with other degree programs. The expected clientele for this MS (active duty military personnel, for instance) will require considerable flexibility in scheduling their classes, establishing a comfortable load, and duration of their program. Students will be permitted to proceed at an individual pace to accommodate their scheduling requirements.

4. Impact on existing undergraduate and/or graduate academic programs at ECU. (e.g., Will the proposed program strengthen other programs? Will it stretch existing resources? How many of your programs at this level currently fail to meet Board of Governors’ productivity criteria? Is there a danger of proliferation of low-productivity degree programs at the institution?)

The program will strengthen and enhance the existing graduate certificate in security studies as it will offer a wider variety of courses to those students. As the program grows, it will also allow for the expansion of the security studies faculty. This would allow for the offering of additional security studies courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.

The 2008 UNC-GA productivity study identified three master’s degree programs for low productivity review.  Enrollment in this proposed program should far exceed productivity standards. The proposed MS would benefit all programs offering courses in the interdisciplinary program by boosting enrollments in existing courses.

B. Discuss potential program duplication and program competitiveness.

1. Identify similar programs offered elsewhere in North Carolina. Indicate the location and distance from the proposing institution. Include a) public and b) private institutions of higher education.

No similar program exists in the state of North Carolina. The closest approximation we could identify is a graduate certificate offered in the School of Public Health at UNC-Chapel Hill. The UNC-CH program is, however, aimed at first-responders rather than at policy developers, administrators, or managers as the proposed ECU program would be. Additionally, several planning and public administration programs in the state offer emergency or disaster planning/management concentrations but, again, these are programs aimed more at first responders than at managers.

· NCCU is proposing a homeland security track in their criminal justice graduate program but this has an expressed criminal justice/investigations orientation.

· NCSU is a partner institution in two Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence grant programs awarded over the last two years, but this cooperation is in the realm of risk analysis and economic impacts and food protection and defense

· The newly constituted Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security—a combined program of Duke University, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Research Triangle Institute—has almost an exclusively research focus and so has a different mission than the program being proposed here.

2. Indicate how the proposed program differs from other programs like it in the University. If the program duplicates other UNC programs, explain a) why it is necessary or justified and b) why demand (if limited) might not be met through a collaborative arrangement (perhaps using distance education) with another UNC institution. If the program is a first professional or doctoral degree, compare it with other similar programs in public and private universities in North Carolina, in the region, and in the nation.

No similar program exists in the state of North Carolina.

The closest approximation identified is a graduate certificate offered in the School of Public Health at UNC-Chapel Hill. The UNC-CH program is, however, aimed at first-responders within the public health community rather than at policy developers, administrators or managers as the proposed ECU program would be. Additionally, several planning and public administration programs in the state offer emergency or disaster planning/management concentrations but, again, these are programs aimed more at first responders than at managers. Furthermore, most of them are focused at state and local response activities and do not include international or national-level security activities.

· NCCU is proposing a homeland security track in their criminal justice graduate program but this has an expressed criminal justice/investigations orientation. They are also creating an Institute for Homeland Security and Workforce Development. However, at the time of the writing of this proposal, there was no plan available on the website.

· NCSU is a partner institution in two Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence grant programs awarded over the last two years. This cooperation is in the realm of risk analysis and economic impacts and food protection and defense. This is focused on research and practical training through internships of those interested in relevant fields rather than being a degree-granting entity.

· The newly constituted Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security—a combined program of Duke University, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Research Triangle Institute—has almost an exclusively research focus and so has a different mission than the program being proposed here.

· UNC-Charlotte has an emergency management master’s degree program. Emergency management is clearly something of interest to security studies. However, the UNC-Charlotte program focuses solely on emergency management (a primarily local-government-level pursuit) and not on the wide range of security issues at all levels of governance that are included in the proposed program.

C. Enrollment (baccalaureate programs should include only upper division program majors, juniors, and seniors):

Headcount Enrollment: Show a five-year history of enrollments and degrees awarded in similar programs offered at other UNC institutions (using the format below for each institution with a similar program); indicate which of these institutions you consulted regarding their experience with student demand and (in the case of professional programs) job placement. Indicate how their experiences influenced your enrollment projections.

As no such program currently exists at any other UNC institution, there is no enrollment from other institutions to provide.

III. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND CURRICULUM

A. Program Planning.

1. List the names of institutions with similar offerings regarded as high quality programs by the developers of the proposed programs.

· University of Connecticut—Masters of Professional Studies in Homeland Security Management

· Naval Post-Graduate School—MA in Homeland Security (only available to people already employed in relevant fields)

· Long Island University—MS in Homeland Security Management (although it lacks an international component)

2. List other institutions visited or consulted in developing this proposal. Also discuss or append any consultants’ reports, committee findings, and simulations (cost, enrollment shift, induced course load matrix, etc.) generated in planning the proposed program.

The program has been developed in consultation with the Homeland Security Defense Education Consortium (HSDEC). This body was created by the US Department of Homeland Security to encourage education on issues relevant to homeland security and with the intention that it would eventually become an accrediting body for homeland and international security educational programs. The plan for the program was presented to the HSDEC annual educational summit in 2007 and was well-received. The HSDEC has created a new body called the Homeland Security Defense Education Consortium Association (HSDECA), which is being positioned to become the intended accreditation body. The director and assistant director of the ECU security studies program have been in contact with this new agency and have volunteered their assistance in developing and implementing an accreditation program.

B. Admission. List the following:

1. Admissions requirements for proposed program (indicate minimum requirements and general requirements).

Students must meet all requirements put forth by the Graduate School of East Carolina University. These include:

· Completion of the online application

· Three letters of recommendation

· Minimum undergraduate GPA of 2.75 out of 4 on all undergraduate work or a GPA of 3.0 out of 4 on the work taken during the senior year.

· Satisfactory score on the GRE

2. Documents to be submitted for admission (listing or sample).

Students must submit:

· Online application

· Three letters of recommendation,

· A statement of purpose

· GRE score

C. Degree Requirements. List the following:

1. Total hours required:

36 s.h.

2. Proportion of courses open only to graduate students to be required in program (graduate programs only):

All courses will be open to graduate students only.

3. Grades required.

Students who receive a final grade of C or less on courses totaling in excess of 6 s.h. will be subject to termination. A student failing to maintain a B average for graduation will be subject to termination.

4. Amount of transfer credit accepted.

No more than 7 credits of transfer work may be accepted toward completion of the degree. The core courses must be completed by all students for graduation.

5. Other requirements (e.g. residence, comprehensive exams, thesis, dissertation, clinical or field experience, second major, etc.).

Students may take either a thesis or non-thesis option. Those students selecting the thesis option must complete a thesis acceptable to a three-person committee with relevant expertise. While it is anticipated that most students will take the non-thesis option; however, it is useful to note how the thesis will be administered. When students enroll in the SECS 7000 Thesis course, a faculty member will be assigned to help guide all students registered in that semester through the process. This will be counted as part of the teaching load for that faculty member. Other faculty members who are serving as committee members on the various students’ committees will count their participation as service.

All students must also successfully pass a comprehensive exam.

6. Language and/or research requirements.

Students must complete SECS 6300 Research Methods for Security Studies or transfer in a course deemed comparable or adequate by the SECS Director in order to complete the degree.

7. Any time limits for completion.

Coursework must be completed within six years. An extension may be granted with the approval of the director of security studies and the ECU Graduate School.

D. List existing courses by prefix, number, and title (include s.h.) and indicate (*) those that are required. Include an explanation of numbering system. List (under a heading marked “new”) and describe new courses proposed.

All new courses are indicated with bolded titles.

If students have not completed such prerequisites as part of their previous studies, the actual number of credit hours needed for their Areas of emphasis may exceed 12. Establishment and enforcement of prerequisites is the prerogative of the offering department. This would, in turn, result in the student completing more than the minimum 36 s.h. required for the degree.

B. Estimate the need for new faculty for the proposed program for the first four years. If the teaching responsibilities for the proposed program will be absorbed in part or in whole by the present faculty, explain how this will be done without weakening existing programs.

It is estimated that one new faculty member to be housed in the Department of Political Science will need to be hired during the second year of the program to address the needs of the growing student enrollments. It is expected that this person would be on board by the fall of the third year.

Until that time, the existing faculty will be sufficient to meet the basic course requirements without weakening existing programs. Drs. Cook and Roshandel will transition to teaching entirely program-related courses. Drs. Peksun and Olson Lounsbery will teach one or two program courses per year. The other contributing programs believe they can handle the additional credit hour production for the first several years without adding new faculty members.

In addition, during the second year the faculty believe the program would be strengthened with a permanent allocation of funds to permit the hiring of expert part-time faculty on a course by course basis to supplement the knowledge base of the regular faculty.

An additional full-time faculty member will need to be hired during the fourth year of the program to assist with the curriculum and the supervision of theses.

C. If the employment of new faculty requires additional funds, please explain the source of funding.

It is expected that this will be funded through enrollment increase funding generated by new student credit hour production.

D. Explain how the program will affect faculty activity, including course load, public service activity, and scholarly research.

This program will aid in the development of faculty research and outreach activity. It will enable the faculty to engage in research programs supported by students more directly focused on security studies concerns than is presently the case. We also believe this program will create new research and community opportunities by bringing the faculty into greater contact with local, state, and national entities engaged in the provisions security studies related services and research.

V. LIBRARY

A. Provide a statement as to the adequacy of present library holdings for the proposed program.

Library holdings and online resources are presently adequate to meet the requirements for this program.

B. State how the library will be improved to meet new program requirements for the next five years. The explanation should discuss the needs for books, periodicals, reference material, primary source material, etc. What additional library support must be added to areas supporting the proposed program?

We believe the library will not need to develop in any special manner to meet the needs of this program. Its current holdings and patterns of access to online materials is projected to be adequate for the needs of the program for the foreseeable future. In fact, since much of this program will be taught online, it is the continued access to online materials that is essential.

C. Discuss any contemplated use of other institutional libraries: Not applicable

VI. FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT

A. Describe the facilities available for the proposed program.

The director, assistant director, and faculty of the program currently have office space provided through the political science department. Contributing faculty from other academic units are housed in their department. Additional classroom space requirements will be minimal, as the vast majority of the courses offered by the MS in security studies will be taught online. The program should, therefore, not infringe on classroom space, which is already at a premium.

B. Describe the effect of this new program on existing facilities and indicate whether they will be adequate, both at the commencement of the program and during the next decade.

The facilities available for the initiation and initial few years of the program are adequate. After several years of operation, however, as the program grows in size, it is likely that additional faculty and supporting staff office space will be required. In the first four years this would include office space for one full-time faculty, one administrative support associate and several part-time faculty, and a small amount of storage space for program materials. It is probable that these requirements could be fulfilled through the political science department.

C. Indicate any computer services needed and/or available

Computer services currently available for the program are adequate.

D. Indicate sources of financial support for any new facilities and equipment.

Any new facilities and equipment needed for the program into the future will be funded through the generation of student credit hours for the program and are accounted for in the budget below.

VII. ADMINISTRATION

Describe how the proposed program will be administered, giving the responsibilities of each department, division, school, or college. Explain any inter-departmental or inter-unit administrative plans. Include an organizational chart showing the "location" of the proposed new program.

The following letter of agreement describes how the program will be administered.

Letter of Agreement for Joint Governance of Security Studies MS Program

This letter of agreement is between the Department of Political Science, the Harriot College of Arts and Sciences, and all university programs contributing courses and faculty to the master of science degree in security studies.

The offering units agree to the following:

1. The master of science in security studies (MSSS) degree and the graduate certificate in security studies will be housed in the Department of Political Science (POLS), Harriot College of Arts and Sciences (HCAS) with a minimum of 51 percent of the coursework and program content to be delivered by POLS faculty. The balance of the coursework is to be provided by contributing departments in the HCAS and other colleges.

2. An interdisciplinary committee of all contributing faculty members, regardless of their home department, shall serve as the governing faculty body overseeing the curriculum, admissions, and operational details of the program. Contributing faculty members are those regularly teaching courses in the MSSS program. The chairperson of the Department of Political Science is an ex-officio member of the committee

3. The director of the program shall be selected from the faculty in the Department of Political Science active in the security studies program. The director of the MSSS shall be nominated for a three-year term by the chairperson from a list of candidates submitted by the MSSS Committee and approved by a majority vote of the graduate faculty of the Department of Political Science. The MSSS director may be removed from office by the chairperson upon a majority recommendation by the MSSS faculty or for cause, with the MSSS director excluded from voting.

The MSSS director shall:

a. serve as chair and voting member of the MSSS Committee.

b. prepare the agenda in advance of meetings, preside over meetings, advise the committee members on their deliberations, and be responsible for keeping a record of the decisions of the committee.

c. coordinate, in conjunction with the MSSS Committee, the chairperson of the Department, and the dean of graduate studies, procedures relating to the admission of prospective students into the MSSS program.

d. develop and conduct an active program of recruitment for the purpose of enrolling qualified students in the MSSS program.

e. supervise registration of all MSSS students in a timely fashion.

f. consult with MSSS students on their MSSS professional papers, including committee membership.

g. see to the maintenance of records, letters of recommendation, grade reports, and other data of MSSS students.

h. collect and record information about activities of graduates from the MSSS Program.

i. serve as representative of the MSSS program not only to individuals and organizations on the university campus, but to all professional, governmental, or civic organizations with which the MSSS program is relevantly involved.

j. act for the chairperson in his/her absence on matters pertinent to the MSSS program and designate, with the concurrence of the chairperson, a person in his/her absence as acting MSSS director during summer sessions.

4. Semester Credit Hours (SCH) will be shared equitably between the units based on the prefixes of the courses offered.

5. Each participating unit agrees to offer the required courses if a minimum of eight students enroll.

6. In the case where the committee reaches a deadlock, the chairperson of the Department of Political Science will resolve the deadlocking issue.

7. All curriculum proposals advancing to the university’s undergraduate and graduate curriculum committees bearing the SECS prefix or proposals changing degree requirements must be initiated by the interdisciplinary faculty committee and forwarded through the Graduate Faculty of the Department of Political Science to the respective university committees.

8. Should accreditation for this program become available and approved at a later date, the faculty assigned to teach in the program must meet the minimums required to be considered either academically or professionally qualified.

9. In the event that non-credit coursework and specializations flow from this partnership, the participating units will work collaboratively and jointly to offer such courses and programs. The chairperson or dean of the unit choosing not to participate must write a letter to the offering chairperson or dean before such programs can be offered without collaboration.

10. This letter of agreement is in effect until formally dissolved. Dissolution of the agreement requires the approval of the chairpersons and deans of the participating units. In the event of dispute, the dean of graduate studies will serve as arbiter.

The organizational chart below indicates the basic relationships involved.

VIII. ACCREDITATION

Indicate the names of all accrediting agencies normally concerned with programs similar to the one proposed. Describe plans to request professional accreditation. If the proposed new degree program is at a more advanced level than those previously authorized or if it is a new discipline division, was SACS notified of a potential "substantive change" during the planning process? If so, describe the response from SACS and the steps that have been taken to date with reference to the applicable procedure.

At this time, there is no organization that is accrediting security studies programs. Currently, the Homeland Security Defense Education Consortium is working to develop an accreditation body in the non-profit Homeland Security Defense Education Consortium Association.

IX. SUPPORTING FIELDS

Are there other subject matter fields at the proposing institution necessary or valuable in support of the proposed program? Is there needed improvement or expansion of these fields? To what extent will such improvement or expansion be necessary for the proposed program?

The degree is a multidisciplinary one, so it necessarily requires support from other departments on campus. Among the participating departments are: history, international studies, political science, biology, environmental health and science technology, criminal justice, public administration, sociology, computer sciences, and information technology. At the present time, existing courses in each of the departments will be offered as options for students within the four areas of emphasis. Development of additional offerings to contribute to the curriculum will be at the discretion of the relevant department.

X. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Include any additional information deemed pertinent to the review of this new program proposal.

XI. BUDGET

Provide estimates (using the attached form) of the additional costs required to implement the program and identify the proposed sources of the additional funds required. Use SCH projections (section II.C) to estimate new state appropriations through enrollment increase funds. Prepare a budget schedule for each of the first three years of the program, indicating the account number and name for all additional amounts required. Identify EPA and SPA positions immediately below the account listing. New SPA positions should be listed at the first step in the salary range using the SPA classification rates currently in effect. Identify any larger or specialized equipment and any unusual supplies requirements.

For the purposes of the second and third year estimates, project faculty and SPA position rates and fringe benefits rates at first-year levels. Include the continuation of previous year(s) costs in second and third-year estimates.

Additional state-appropriated funds for new programs may be limited. Except in exceptional circumstances, institutions should request such funds for no more than three years (e.g., for start-up equipment, new faculty positions, etc.), at which time enrollment increase funds should be adequate to support the new program. Therefore, it will be assumed that requests (in the “new Allocations” column of the following worksheet) are for one, two, or three years unless the institution indicates a continuing need and attaches a compelling justification. However, funds for new programs are more likely to be allocated for limited periods of time.

It is projected that all of the additional funding requested in support of this program will be generated by increased credit hour production. Below is a summary of the budget requests for the program’s first three years. (See appendix C for budget sheets.)

Year One: 2010-2011

· Retain current allocation of $7,500 for one graduate assistant from political science

XII. EVALUATION PLANS

All new degree program proposals must include an evaluation plan which includes (a) the criteria to be used to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of the program, (b) measures to be used to evaluate the program, (c) expected levels of productivity of the proposed program for the first four years of the program (numbers of graduates), (d) the names, addresses, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers of at least three persons (six reviewers are needed for graduate programs) qualified to review this proposal and to evaluate the program once operational, and (e) the plan and schedule to evaluate the proposed new degree program prior to the completion of its fifth year of operation once fully established.

Program Evaluation Format

A. Criteria to be used to evaluate the proposed program.

The criteria to be used in the evaluation of this program will be both operational and educationally based.

First, the program will be evaluated on overall program demographic patterns focusing on such aggregate data as enrollment, student credit hour production, frequency of course offerings, graduation rates, and student employment.

Second, the program will be evaluated by the achievement of its learning objectives. In addition to the usual course based instructional assessment methods, the faculty will develop learning objective based criteria for the program overall and its specific areas of emphasis so that assessments can be made of student progress, program deficiencies, and program strengths.

B. Measures to be used to evaluate the program.

Aggregate measures to be used:

· Enrollment trends

· Student credit hour production trends

· Frequency of course offerings

· Graduation rates

· Student progression patterns

· Faculty research and grant productivity

· Student employment data

Measurement tools:

· An assessment tool will be developed to evaluate the knowledge and experiences of each entering student based on the stated learning objectives of the program.

· An assessment tool will be developed tool to evaluate each student’s progress in meeting the stated learning objective of the program as taught in each separate course. Each instructor will evaluate each student independently of the course grades in terms of the student’s performance in their course. This information will assist the program director to advise students and to assess the overall curriculum’s performance consistency with the stated learning objectives.

· An assessment tool will be developed tool to evaluate each student’s progress in meeting the stated learning objective of the program as demonstrated by his/her performance in his/her capstone experience.

· An assessment tool will be developed tool to permit each graduating student to evaluate the program’s strengths, weakness, areas for potential improvement, and faculty. This instrument will be administered to students several months after graduation.

· An assessment tool will be developed tool to permit each graduating student to evaluate the program’s strengths, weakness, areas for potential improvement, and faculty. This instrument will be administered to students several years after graduation.

· Finally, an external advisory council of working professionals will be appointed to advise the faculty on the curriculum and future program changes.

E. Projected productivity level (number of graduates):

Level	Year 1 (20 - 20 )	Year 2 (20 - 20 )	Year 3 (20 - 20 )	Year 4 (20 - 20 )	Totals

MEMORANDUM

TO: Dr. Brad Lockerbie

Chair, Department of Political Science

FROM: Dr. Alan White

Dean, Harriot College of Arts and Sciences

DATE: October 1, 2007

RE: Letter of Support for the Security Studies MS Proposal

Harriot College of Arts and Sciences strongly supports the proposal for an Interdisciplinary MS in Security Studies that is currently going through the process of Notification of Intent to Plan. The College has been supportive of the program since it was initially discussed a few years ago, investing a senior level faculty position in the Political Science department. The department used this position to hire Dr. Jalil Roshandel at the Associate Professor level, an expert in Security Studies who is currently leading the effort to establish the new degree.

There are many aspects of the proposed program that highlight important university and college initiatives. In particular, a target audience for the program will be the military population of eastern North Carolina -- a population that East Carolina University has been very committed to serving. The program includes a large distance education component that will make it available to the military as well as to others unable to attend classes on campus. As an interdisciplinary program it draws on courses from many departments, including those outside the College, to allow study of a very important and timely subject in an innovative way. Arts and Sciences has a strong record with regard to the establishment of interdisciplinary programs. Moreover, the College is committed not only to developing programs that are interdisciplinary within College departments but to those that reach beyond the College as does the proposed MS in Security Studies. Arts and Sciences will support and promote the active representative of all participating partners in such efforts.

The proposal indicates that the administration of the program will include an interdisciplinary committee from all involved departments that will take an active role in overseeing the program but it will also have a director. Since the Political Science department is initiating the program and will have several faculty involved in the program, we envision that Political Science as the host department for the degree with the director reporting to the Chair of Political Science and the Chair of Political Science reporting to the College of Arts and Sciences. Political Science is also a good choice for a place to house the program as the department has effectively worked well with other departments on campus via their Masters in Public Administration program and the interdisciplinary certificate in Security Studies. As noted above, the College has provided resources for the establishment of this new graduate program in Security Studies and will continue to do so. In particular, Arts and Sciences will provide the funds to employ senior faculty with Government and Military experience on a fixed term basis to round out the course offerings as needed.

August 21, 2007 Dr. Jalil Roshandel Dr. Bob Thompson Dr. Alan White RE: Notification of Intent to Plan a MS in Security Studies I am pleased to inform you that the Academic Program Development Collaborative Team recommended at its August 17, 2007, meeting that the Notification of Intent to Plan a MS in Security Studies continue through the campus approval process. By copy of this letter, I am informing Interim Provost Sheerer and other members of the Academic Council of the recommendation. The Collaborative Team noted that the proposal, which you submitted is much improved in its clarity. Specifically, (1) You have made new faculty hires (Drs. Roshandel, Cook, and Olson Lounsbery) that are strategic to implementing a successful academic program. (3) You have been able to form collaborative relationships with other academic departments and research projects that are essential for delivery of the interdisciplinary MS in Security Studies degree. (3) Your department’s successful certificate program serves as a logical feeder program for both courses and students in the proposed new degree. (4) Finally, The proposed degree is strategically important in this region of North Carolina for training of military personnel.

Memo

Date: 1 August 2007

To: Jalil Roshandel, Director, Program in Security Studies

From: C. Ruth Kempf, Director, Center for Security Studies and Research (CSSR)

Subject: CSSR Support for the Planned Interdisciplinary Master's Degree Program in Security Studies

I am writing on behalf of the Center for Security Studies and Research to support the planned interdisciplinary Master of Science in Security Studies Program (MSSSP). By continuing to perform security-related research and participating in U.S. Government Programs directly related to addressing the threats of Weapons of Mass Destruction, the Center is positioned to provide course content that is unquestionably topical and current. We will continue to develop and teach courses which reflect our expertise and activities and will ensure these offerings are available to help meet requirements of the MSSSP.

In addition, we would like to help develop and operate an on-going seminar/movie/discussion group to complement MSSSP offerings.

In the future, we anticipate being able to provide "internship" experience in the research laboratory and/or on Center projects for students in the MSSSP.

I look forward to working with you.

Dear Dr. Roshandel,

The purpose of this letter is to support Dr. Gerald M. Jones' participation in the Master of Science in Security Studies program. After reading the information attached in your email to Dr. Jones, I believe that his participation in the program is important to the department, college and university. As you will see from his faculty information sheets, he is eminently qualified to make a substantial contribution to the program. Nevertheless, from an administrative point of view, I am concerned about whether the criminal justice department will receive any FTE's generated from Dr. Jones' participation. Please contact me so that we can discuss the matter further. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. If I can be of more help in this process, please feel free to contact me at 328-4195 or at andersonja@ecu.edu.

Sincerely

James F. Anderson, Ph.D. Professor and Chair Department of Criminal Justice

To: Dr. Jalil Roshandel, Director, Security Studies Program

From: Dr. Sylvie Debevec Henning, Director, International Studies

RE: Support for proposed MS in Security Studies

I am writing in support of the proposed MS in Security Studies program. I see the proposed program as providing ECU students interested in security studies with an alternative to the concentration and non-thesis option in security studies offered through the MA in International Studies even though these two components of the MAIS program are built on the graduate certificate in security studies offered by the Department of Political Science.

Because the MA in International Studies core courses focus on cross-cultural communication and global understanding, students in our program who choose courses in security studies have a different orientation than those who would choose the proposed MS degree. In addition, MAIS students all must demonstrate significant levels of proficiency in a foreign language and have completed an extensive international field experience before graduating.

The MAIS concentration in security studies is at present quite popular. I expect that it will continue to attract students. MAIS students will therefore enroll in courses offered through the MS in Security Studies program. Students in the latter program are welcome to enroll in MAIS core courses.

I foresee a relationship between the MAIS and the MS in Security Studies programs similar to the one that exists at present between the MAIS and the MBA programs at ECU. We mutually support one another. Students can move between the programs relatively easily if their professional interests or goals change.

memorandum

To: Jalil Roshandel

Director, Program in Security Studies

From: Michael A. Palmer

Chair, Department of History

Date: 25 April 2007

RE: Department of History support for the Program in Security Studies.

I write to commit the Department of History (the Unit) to support the planned interdisciplinary MSS degree Program in Security Studies (the Program). I expect that this Unit’s support for the Program will take several forms.

The Unit will support the Program through scheduling. I expect the chair of the Unit to liaise with the Program’s director to insure that sufficient Unit offerings are available in any given semester to help meet the requirements of the Program. The Unit chair will also work to accommodate the Program through the scheduling of Unit faculty who participate instructionally in the Program.

The Unit chair shall provide at least a modicum of financial support for Program speakers whose topics are historical in nature.

The Unit expects that it will continue to earn credit for SCHs generated in HIST courses, and for those students who register for cross listed courses under the HIST prefix. SCHs earned in specific Program courses developed subsequent to this memo shall be credited to the Program, even if taught by faculty of the Unit. The Unit expects to be compensated through “buy-outs” if, in the future, Unit faculty teach these program-specific courses.

The Unit is committed to consider reasonable future accommodations deemed necessary to insure the Program’s success.

August 30, 2007

To: Dr. Jalil Roshandel, Director, Security Studies Program

From: Dr. Lee Maril, Chair, Department of Sociology

I am writing in strong support of the Security Studies Program MS Degree. I have read through the proposal and strongly support it. I think that this new degree can provide our students with a viable career and, at the same time, falls within the stated mission of Hariott College and East Carolina University.

More specifically, the Department of Sociology can provide course options for degree candidates including courses in Populations and in the Sociology of Immigration. We have two faculty who are very interested in providing support to your new degree.

I look forward to working with you in the future as your new Masters Program is developed.

MEMORANDUM

Date: October 3, 2007

To: Dr. Jalil Roshandel, Director, Security Studies Program

From: Dr. Andrew E. Jackson, Chair, Department of Technology Systems

Subject: Support for the Planned Interdisciplinary Master's Degree in Security Studies

The proposed MS in Security Studies program provides East Carolina University with a unique opportunity to create a collaborative degree program that focuses on security issues across a wide spectrum of our society. With an increased emphasis on personal security throughout society, the planned interdisciplinary Master of Science in Security Studies degree program will allow students to study and understand the interrelationships that exist between governments, industries, and citizens of countries across the globe. The Department of Technology Systems is pleased to participate in the interdisciplinary degree program. Our contribution to the program will focus on infrastructure security issues, including Computer and Network Security, Transportation System Security, Facility and Port Security, and Occupational Safety and Security. Graduate faculty from each of our academic programs will be able to contribute to the body of knowledge that will be delivered through this interdisciplinary degree program.

With the advent of post 9/11 changes throughout our transportation systems, increased security awareness and preparation are cornerstones of the demand that reinforces the need for the proposed MS in Security Studies program. It is my belief that students who are interested in creating policies, systems, and infrastructure to improve safety and security for our citizens will find this program to be a valuable resource in meeting their continuing educational needs.

The Department of Technology Systems stands ready to support and participate in the MS in Security Studies program. We look forward to working with Dr. Roshandel and his team of experts in this area.

If I may answer any questions regarding our programs, please feel free to contact me at 252-737-1468 or by e-mail at jacksona@ecu.edu.

Andrew E. Jackson, Ph.D., P.E., CSIT

Memo

To: Dr. Jalil Roshandel - Director of the Security Studies Program

From: John Placer – Chair of Computer Science

CC: Nasseh Tabrizi – Computer Science Director of Graduate Studies

Date: 10/19/2009

Re: Support for proposed MS in Security Studies

The faculty of the Department of Computer Science strongly supports the proposed interdisciplinary Master of Science in Security Studies Program. At a minimum it is our intention to list the following four courses in the Science and Technology concentration of the Security Studies Program.

CSCI 6100 Cryptography and Information Security

CSCI 6130 Networking and Telecommunication

CSCI 6140 Mobile Communications and Wireless Security

CSCI 6300 Cryptographic Protocols

We would also like to reserve the option of contributing these and other courses to a focused computer science concentration in the Security Studies Program.

Computer science offers a broad array of powerful tools that are now being used for security purposes. Exploring collaborations between the Computer Science faculty and the faculty of the Security Studies Program holds the promise of many interesting and productive research possibilities. We look forward to working with you and your faculty in the future.
