I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM
A. Describe
the proposed degree program (i.e., its nature, scope, and intended audience).
The Master of Science in Sustainable Tourism (MS-ST) is
an interdisciplinary degree program focusing on the critical issues of
sustainability within the world’s largest industry, tourism. It is designed to provide educated leadership
to assist with the stabilization, expansion, and effective management of
tourism businesses and the furthering of effective public policy at all levels
of government to ensure that tourism contributes to economic vitality in
balance with environmental and community attributes.
The MS-ST will be housed in the Division of Research
and Graduate Studies and administered by the Center for Sustainable Tourism
(CST). It is being charted and supported
by the College of Health and Human Performance, Department of Recreation and
Leisure Studies; the College of Human Ecology, Department of Hospitality
Management; the Departments of Geography, Economics, and History, in the Thomas
Harriot College of Arts and Sciences; and the College of Business.
Specifically, the MS-ST degree program will
Ø provide a strong foundation for career advancement,
future doctoral studies, and, ultimately, executive and senior level positions
within the many and varied public, private and non-profit tourism
entities;
Ø
provide recent
graduates from undergraduate programs at both ECU and across
Ø
provide technical
consultation and planning advice to local communities, businesses and
non-governmental organizations interested in improving and expanding their
tourism potential;
Ø

prepare students for jobs and careers in tourism; and,
Ø recruit and support outstanding faculty committed to
quality teaching, research, and community activities in all components of
sustainable tourism including leisure and recreation, hospitality, social and
physical sciences, medicine, business, information technology, and the arts.
B. List
the educational objectives of the program.
Students in sustainable tourism will be recognized
throughout North Carolina, across the country and throughout the world for
their knowledge and skills in the application of sustainable practices in
tourism; practices that contribute to the protection and preservation of our
precious environmental and human resources.
Students will
Ø possess in-depth knowledge regarding complex
management and leadership actions in sustainable tourism for public and private
(non-profit, governmental and for-profit) tourism entities;
Ø demonstrate the ability to assess the adequacy of
scientific and conservation practices in water, energy, climate and natural
resource management;

throughout
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 MS in Sustainable Tourism emerged from a regional
need as well as the interests and efforts of the faculty from four ECU colleges
to serve as a common graduate degree that would meet the needs of their
undergraduate students. Faculty
represents recreation and leisure studies, hospitality management, geography,
history and economics, as well as various business disciplines. Four new courses which will serve as the
program “core” have already been developed and approved. A selection of
existing courses for program electives, have also been identified. Initially, the core courses can be taught by
existing faculty until program resources can be supported by student enrollment
numbers. Existing campus resources
including classrooms and research facilities will be used. In addition, the new core courses will be
available for students from existing degree programs which clearly contribute
to the campus’s efforts to become more sustainable, thus meeting the UNC
Tomorrow Commission’s expectations.
II. JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROGRAM (Narrative
Statement)
A. Describe the proposed program as it relates to
the following:
1. Institutional
East Carolina University, a constituent institution of
The University of North Carolina system, is a public doctoral university
committed to meeting the educational needs of
To Serve
through Education: The educational mission of
To Serve
through Research and Creative Activity: The
research mission of East Carolina University is to advance knowledge, to
encourage creative activity, to solve significant human problems, and to
provide the foundation for professional practice through the support of basic
and applied research. The university is committed to integrating research and
creative activities in the educational experiences of students. It also is
committed to enriching culture and being a leader in innovative research
applications.
To Serve
through Leadership and Partnership: The
service mission of East Carolina University, as an institution with a tradition
of strong regional ties and public outreach, is to provide leadership and to
engage in partnerships supporting public education, health care and human
services, cultural activities, and regional development.
The mission of the Graduate School is to realize its
vision by creating and sustaining excellence in East Carolina University’s
graduate programs, ensuring high-quality educational experiences and
professional development for all of its graduate students, facilitating
strategic development of graduate programs in selected areas of strength, and
complimenting the University’s discovery (defined as research, scholarship,
artistry, and other forms of creativity), outreach/service, and undergraduate
teaching programs.
The vision of the Graduate School at East Carolina
University is to add value to the lives of students and society in eastern
North Carolina, the state of North Carolina, the nation, and the world through
the personal and professional development of graduate students in the arts,
sciences, business, education, health professions, and a variety of other
fields. The graduates of our degree and certificate programs will provide the
intellectual capital that will enhance the reputation of East Carolina
University and be capable of providing the leadership necessary for societal progress
in a 21st century, globally-competitive world.
2. Student Demand.
This
degree program is anticipated to be one of the most sought after and popular
programs on the ECU campus and within the UNC system. In addition, it will attract interest from
candidates across the country and throughout the world, due to its uniqueness,
timeliness and societal need. Inquiries
are already being fielded from ECU students studying economics, geography,
recreation and leisure studies, hospitality management, maritime history, among
others. Requests for information have also
been received from students from Duke, University of Massachusetts, Savannah
College of Arts and Design, Michigan
State University, and North Carolina State, to name a few. This interest is primarily due to the immense/
extensive need for managers, entrepreneurs, and public policy personnel with a
strong science and business background within the tourism industry and the
dramatic shift of the industry to sustainable practices. As a result, this degree program will be very
competitive.
As
noted in the Assessing Readiness document for this program, at the national
level programs of tourism and recreation have been experiencing increased
enrollment (Figure 1). Certainly social
interest in conservation and the “greening” of business practices and tourism
enterprises have been on the increase nationally and internationally.
In
the research literature, the expression of interest from the scientific
perspective is evident as well. As noted
by Kajikawa, et. al. (2007, p.222), the growth in sustainable research studies
has been significant over the years (Figure 2).
Figure.
2.
Papers in Sustainability (noted as Figure 1 in the original article).
Significantly,
tourism is one of the leading areas for this line of research and
publication. In a cluster analysis of
the types of articles published, tourism is in the top ten clusters of a total
of 15 as noted in a citation analysis.
This can be seen in the authors’ table 2, p. 226, as presented below.

3. Societal Need. (Note: For graduate,
first-professional, and baccalaureate-professional programs, cite manpower
needs in
The North American
Industrial Classification System (NAICS) identifies a total of 6,300 businesses
in the Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation Sector and 20,896 businesses in the
Accommodation and Food Service Sector of the North Carolina tourism industry,
most being small and mid-size in nature.
In the 20 coastal counties, there are 1,027 businesses in the Arts,
Entertainment, and Recreation Sector and 2,815 businesses in the Accommodation
and Food Service Sector. Tourism
expenditures are derived from visitors whose primary travel purpose includes
business, convention and conference travel; government business; leisure and
holidays; and visiting family and friends; all of which are motivations for
travel to North Carolina, a state which depends upon “sustaining” its natural
resources and vibrant communities to remain competitive.
Tourism is a major
economic driver across all of
Today every sector of the tourism
industry is embracing sustainable practices in an effort to save money,
increase profits, or simply because it is in the best interests of the local
and national environment. Such practices
include management and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, reduction of
solid waste and water consumption, wastewater management, conservation and
management of energy, ecosystem and biodiversity conservation, land use
planning and management, air quality protection, preservation of social norms
and cultures and provision of economic benefits to local and indigenous
communities, responsible purchasing and training and education in
sustainability for employees and clients.
Additionally, the University of
North Carolina Tomorrow Commission notes in its draft summary of
recommendations (p. 1) that the UNC should embrace sustainability as a core
value, leverage its faculty research expertise to address critical
environmental and energy issues, and increase community awareness of
environmental and sustainability issues.
The draft report goes on to note that the UNC system should prepare its
students for successful professional and personal lives in the 21st
century equipping them with the tools they will need to adapt to the
every-changing (sustainable) world.
This proposed new degree program will address this
need by providing a graduate educational opportunity in sustainable tourism
that will incorporate policy, planning, research, management (relevant to
people, place, activities), development, and resource principles in their
applications in today’s global society.
The proposed MS-ST degree program at ECU will be the cornerstone in
This MS-ST degree program will be the focal point for
preparing a cadre of qualified ECU graduate students with the skills,
knowledge, and experience to become professionals and leaders in the tourism
industry locally, regionally, state-wide, nationally, and internationally.
Today’s tourism professional must be multifaceted — capable of interpreting data,
recognizing trends, making sound management decisions, directing employees,
seeking funding options, writing publication materials, accessing sound
science, promoting destinations, and much more.
In short, the MS-ST will be a degree program that prepares individuals
in the principles, procedures, and operations of the global tourism
industry. This degree program will
include instruction in leisure, hospitality, and cultural geography; tourism
planning, policy, and regulation; economics; the arts and culture; demographics
of place; and related business and financial management practices with a
central theme of sustainability.
ECU recognizes the strong link between
graduate education, the production of knowledge, and economic and social
prosperity. The University is committed
to producing highly skilled leaders in a wide range of fields to address the
needs and challenges of the region as well as across the state. ECU is committed to producing professionals
in sustainable tourism and to developing leaders for the business, nonprofit,
and government sectors.
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
2008 UNC-GA productivity study identified three master’s degree programs at ECU
for low productivity review. Enrollment
in the proposed MS-ST program should far exceed productivity standards. The MS in Sustainable Tourism is designed to
complement existing academic offerings at ECU and to serve as a bridge for all
campus-wide interests in sustainability and tourism. This degree program has emerged from the
efforts of faculty from the four colleges of Business,
B. Discuss potential program duplication and
program competitiveness.
1. Identify similar programs offered elsewhere in
There are no
discrete graduate degree programs in sustainable tourism reported on the
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
This
proposed MS in Sustainable Tourism does not duplicate any existing programs in
the UNC system and in fact, is the first such proposed program to be offered in
the nation. It is unlike any other
graduate degree offering and is specific to the exploding field of sustainable
tourism. It is interdisciplinary, drawing
from the human and physical resources of the Colleges of Business, Health and
Human Performance, Arts and Sciences and Human Ecology, and combines unique
knowledge in science and business for application within government, business
operations and personal travel education.
There
are reported degree programs on the UNC system-wide website which offer either
a general concentration in tourism or select tourism courses within Recreation
Administration (NCCU), Parks and Recreation Management (UNCG), Recreation and
Leisure Studies (ECU), Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management (NCSU), both
Masters and Masters of Science. None of
these programs offers a specific discrete degree in tourism particularly
sustainable tourism.
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.
There is no program within the UNC system to directly
compare to as this is a unique degree offering.
If traditional graduate programs in recreation, leisure studies and
tourism are used as a guide the following information would seem helpful. Please note that the figures also include
graduate students in therapeutic recreation.

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.
The proposed MS-ST at ECU shares little
commonality with any other graduate program in the country in the tourism field
due to its unique focus on sustainable tourism; nor does it share commonality
with any of the University of North Carolina constituent institutions or in any
in-state private institutions for the same reason. A graduate degree highlighting tourism
development and management, most specifically sustainable tourism, is not
currently a dedicated offering at any higher education institution within
Eastern North Carolina and the
State of
The MS-ST degree will
substantially increase exposure of current faculty’s scholarly strengths and
attract top quality students as the MS-ST program matures into the growing
realm of sustainable tourism, inclusive of rural tourism, tourism marketing,
and tourism management. As mentioned
previously, and because of the interdisciplinary approach, faculty support is very
robust and the respective faculty member contribution for the most part can
occur as an extension of current teaching and research interests.
ECU is in a unique position to
take advantage of becoming a nationally recognized program due to the proposed
degree structure’s concentration in sustainable tourism. There are more faculty members interested and
engaged in sustainable tourism-related courses at ECU than at any other campus
in the UNC system. Perhaps the most
exciting element of this concept is that its emphasis is in a relatively new
field that is gaining state, national, and international attention. There is every reason to believe that a
strong market exists for ECU graduate students and that ECU will quickly
be recognized as a lead research and teaching institution in the field of
sustainable tourism.

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 the intent to expand upon
the involvement of existing ECU faculty who possess both the competency and
interest in teaching and research in various aspects of sustainable tourism
with new faculty specifically trained in various competency areas of
sustainable tourism, based upon student credit hour production. The Center for Sustainable Tourism’s (CST)
strategic plan calls for an Associate Director for Academics to oversee the
graduate program; this person will need the support of an administrative
assistant to cover the administrative demands of a quality graduate
program. Since the program draws upon
existing faculty in several departments with existing full schedules and
advising responsibilities, an Associate Director is clearly needed to recruit
and advise students and to manage all related academic administrative
activities including course scheduling.
In addition, this person must build and guide an active research and
external funding agenda with faculty and students enrolled in this degree
program that moves ECU forward in its recognition as a top research university. The Associate Director will work with the
Director of Center for Sustainable Tourism, who is a tenured full professor in
the
Faculty
needs: Initially there is adequate faculty to construct and deliver select
aspects of the proposed degree program.
Currently, two of the colleges involved in the MS-ST development have
conducted searches to hire new faculty members which are Center Affiliates;
although they will not be fully dedicated tourism scholars, they possess various
competencies in sustainable tourism.
Over the next five years as the program develops and expands, additional
faculty will be needed to teach courses, conduct appropriate research and seek
external grant funding. Enrollment
projections would indicate support for 1 new faculty FTE in year one, an
additional faculty member in year 2, and a 3rd faculty member in
year four. This would amount to three
new faculty members in place to support the program in four years. Some additional faculty support may become
available through joint hiring opportunities with various departments as a
residual result of growth in the related academic programs already in
existence.
C. If
the employment of new faculty requires additional funds, please explain the
source of funding.
Currently
the allocation of new faculty FTE’s is based upon enrollment projections. Due to the rapid embracement of the
sustainability theme throughout the UNC system and the ECU campus specifically,
there may be justification for additional faculty FTEs to support partnerships
with other departments and/or a campus-wide initiative.
D. Explain
how the program will affect faculty activity, including course load, public
service activity, and scholarly research.
In
the case of electives, student numbers in these courses will expand
minimally. Core courses offered by
existing faculty may require “buyout” monies is some cases—in others, the
respective department may be in a position to provide a course instructor. Although there will be added effort and
potentially increased load to faculty, with buyouts and the synergy created through
this interdisciplinary program will result in new teaching paradigms and external
funding opportunities, as well as the contribution to be made by new faculty
hires generated by student credit hour production. Together these will result in a positive
outcome for faculty involved.
V. LIBRARY
A. Provide a statement as to the adequacy of
present library holdings for the proposed program.
Joyner Library is prepared to
support the further development of the tourism curriculum as proposed. Ongoing discussions between library personnel
and the participating colleges/departments and NCCST display their commitment
that appropriate resources are available for students, faculty, and partnering
agencies to support research, programmatic, and grant needs.
Books:
The Joyner Library Catalog lists more
than 1,800 volumes in the general Library of Congress Classifications of G154.9
- G155.5 (Travel and Tourism), GV188-GV200.66 (Leisure and Tourism), and TX901
- TX946 (Hospitality and Tourism). In
addition, the library supports a strong business program, as well as an
extensive curriculum in recreation and leisure studies, and a PhD level program
in coastal resources management that contains a tourism component. The materials purchased for these areas are
fully applicable to the tourism program.
A subscription to the publications of the Travel Industry Association of
America is under consideration, and
would provide current national research for faculty and students working
in this new program (estimated cost $2,000 yearly).
Journals:
The Library lists in excess of 60
journal titles (in print and electronic format) directly relevant to
tourism. Tourism is also served by a
rich collection of business, recreation, leisure, and travel journal titles
(largely in electronic format).
Databases:
Electronic databases providing
access to the literature include Hospitality and Tourism Complete, which covers scholarly research and industry news
relating to all areas of hospitality and tourism from 1965 to the present. Additional
databases that contain hospitality and tourism coverage are ABI-Inform (business), Sport Discus (recreation), and general
article databases such as Academic Search
Premier and Proquest Research Library,
each containing articles on travel, hospitality, and tourism.
Government
Documents:
Joyner Library is a 79% depository
for
Human
Resources:
Joyner Library has assigned a
permanent reference librarian to oversee the collection development and
bibliographic instruction needs of the faculty and students. This will ensure that appropriate tourism
materials are purchased over time, and that the students and faculty in the
program are aware of the relevant resources available to them.
B.
Describe the adequacy of unit computer resources. If additional resources are needed, give a
brief explanation and an estimate for the cost of acquisition. Include classroom, laboratory, and other
facilities that are not currently used in the capacity being requested.
(Collaborate with ITCS to determine feasibility of adding these resources,
particularly in the areas of mainframe computer usage, networking requirements,
statistical services, network connections, and student computer labs.)
It is not
anticipated that additional unique IT resources will be needed beyond those
necessary to meet the needs of participating colleges/departments. These units have also expressed a commitment to
contribute said resources to the pool.
C. 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?
The
library has for some years now been expanding its collection in the tourism
area; most recently with the establishment of the Center this collection has
increased. As a result there will not be
a need for an influx of major financial support to expand the necessary library
resources.
D. Discuss
any contemplated use of other institutional libraries.
We
will encourage the students enrolled in the MS-ST program to seek the most
current and appropriate resources from libraries throughout the UNC system and
beyond.
VI. FACILITIES
AND EQUIPMENT
A. Describe the facilities available for the
proposed program.
The
space, labs, and offices currently used for delivery of undergraduate and graduate
programs within collaborating colleges/departments will be utilized. Since the proposed elective courses are
currently being taught within the participating colleges/departments, there is
a consensus that adding students to these classes will not present a space
problem. However, this is not intended
to imply that additional classroom space won’t be needed as the program grows
beyond the initial four year enrollment predictions.
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.
See
A above
C. Indicate any computer services needed and/or
available
Computers
in the existing cooperative department labs will be utilized. The Center will need approximately 8 new
computers for its graduate student work space and corresponding ITS services.
D. Indicate sources of financial support for any
new facilities and equipment.
Grants
and allocations from ECU will support the purchase of equipment; ITS will
support research labs and necessary computer programs.
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 program will be housed in the Division of
Research and Graduate Studies. The Vice
Chancellor of that unit will serve as “College Dean”, the Director of the
Center for Sustainable Tourism will serve as “Unit Chair” and the Chairman of
the Faculty Oversight Committee will serve as “College Curriculum Committee
Chair.”
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.
There are no accrediting bodies or criteria at this
time for sustainable tourism degree programs.
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?
Technology, medicine and the arts are three
specific areas that we will strive to include as the degree program further
develops. Projections of improvement or
expansion are minimal as this expansion depends primarily on furthering
collaborative funded research activities.
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.
See budget sheets on pages 19-21
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.
