1 Academic Program Strategies The academic program array is a factor of enrollment, faculty complement, completions, and section size. These together establish the foundation upon which the program array can be evaluated, as the number and mix of students reveals the number and type of programs that can be financially supported. A new process is being introduced to incorporate this information into the broader financial overview. As the first phase of this process, universities are requested to provide an initial pass at a program array and overall faculty analysis. This data will be refreshed on an ongoing basis as part of this new process. As part of the submission, a planning template will be distributed. Detailed supporting workbooks and methodologies provided consider program completers, target student/faculty ratio, and enrollment. Together, these completed workbooks will identify where a university stands in terms of over or under its goal faculty complement compared to its programs. There will be further refinement of goals around student/faculty ratios as part of the projection and planning processes. For this projection period (through FY 24-25) universities should plan to achieve the associated minimum fall 2010/11 student/faculty ratio goal. Those universities whose student-to-faculty goals exceeded the System average of 19.4 may use the 2010/2011 System average (19.4) as the university goal and for use in the academic program array analysis to determine the optimum number of programs. Integrating universities without a singular 2010/11 ratio shall utilize as their goal, the weighted average of each university’s 2010/11 targets (Commonwealth – 18.9 and Penn West – 18.8). As part of the review process, university plans to achieve both a balanced/positive operating result, program array analysis, and minimum fall target student/faculty ratios will be reviewed and feedback will be incorporated into the CPP review process. Additional instructions and webinars will be distributed to university Chief Academic Officers, Chief Financial Officers and IR Directors. Additionally, please briefly describe anticipated changes to the academic program array, as applicable based on the above analysis. Note: this is for academic planning and does not substitute for the new program proposal or notification process. It also does not preclude seizing upon unforeseen or innovative opportunities.
