Dear President Loh:
unV~£fty
The Maryland Higher Education Commission has reviewed a request from the
of
Maryland, College Park to: 1) offer a new M.A., M.Ed. and Ph.D. in Higher Education, Student Affairs
and International Education; 2) add the renamed existing areas of concentration (A.O.C.); 3) rename an
existing degree program; and 4) discontinue three existing areas of concentration (A.O.C.).
I am pleased to inform you that the requested actions have been approved. This decision was
based on an analysis of the program in conjunction with the Maryland Higher Education Commission's
Policies and Procedures for Academic Program Proposals, a thirty-day review by the Maryland higher
education community, the Maryland Code of Regulations and the Maryland State Plan for Postsecondary
Education. The programs demonstrate potential for success, an essential factor in making this decision.

Summary of Proposed Action:
Approval of new program, new concentration, and program and concentration name changes.
Form a new program to be named Higher Education, Student Affairs, and International
Education Policy. This proposal would split the current College Student Personnel
concentration from the Counseling and Personnel Services (CAPS) graduate program and
split the Higher Education and Adult Education concentration and International Education
Policy (IEP) specialization from Education Policy and Leadership (EDPL)*. Further it would
rename College Student Personnel to be Student Affairs and rename Higher and Adult
Education to be Higher Education.
There is a concurrent proposal to move International Education Policy from the status of a
specialization in EDPL and establish it as a concentration within the new program, Higher
Education, Student Affairs, and International Education Policy.
