SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ACTION:
The Master of Professional Studies in Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) was approved in May 2006 (PCC Log

States Naval Academy (USNA), LEAD develops students' abilities to think critically and analytically, and focuses on the
knowledge, skills, and abilities essential for understanding, designing, and conducting leader and team development. The
program is funded through a competitive grant from the U.S. Navy. The grant is approved on a three-year cycle and for
each cycle the University must re-submit a proposal for renewed funding. The Department of Counseling, Higher
Education, and Special Education (CHSE) in the College of Education, submitted a successful proposal for this cycle. As a
Master of Professional Studies, the program is housed in the Graduate School, which will be responsible for its oversight,
and the Office of Extended Studies will provide full administrative support. The program major code is MPLD. CHSE has
proposed changes in the approved plan of study. A side-by-side chart of currently approved and proposed curriculum
change is attached.

professional program, the academic home is the Graduate School. The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences is the
current approved provider for administrative oversight. BSOS, however, declined to submit a bid for the three-year cycle
summer 2011- spring 2014; instead the Department of Counseling, Higher Education, and Special Education (CHSE) in the
College of Education, submitted the successful proposal for this cycle. CHSE has contacted the Office of Extended Studies
to provide full administrative support. In addition, CHSE has proposed changes in the approved plan of study. A side-by­

PROPOSAL FOR
CURRICULUM AND ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES
for PREVIOUSLY APPROVED INSTRUCTION PROGRAM
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND AT COLLEGE PARK, MARYLAND
Master of Professional Studies in
Leadership, Education, and Development
ORIGINALLY APPROVED INITIATION DATE: Summer 2006 (PCC Log No. 05087) & Modified August 2007
(PC Log No. 06069).
REVISED CURRICULUM AND ADMINISTRATION DATE: Summer/Fall 2011
Proposal for revised instructional program, professional master, p. 2
PROPOSED CHANGES
The Master of Professional Studies in Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) is an established
degree program that allows for innovative cross disciplinary study and research. Approved and first offered
in 2006, LEAD was developed for highly qualified Junior Officers at the United States Naval Academy
(USNA). During a 12-month period beginning in Summer Term and ending the following May semester,
LEAD Fellows are admitted as a cohort and are immersed in a one-year, 45-credit plan of study. 36 credits
are offered at the University of Maryland and 9 are offered at USNA. The program develops students’
abilities to think critically and analytically, and focuses on the knowledge, skills, and abilities essential for
understanding, designing, and conducting leader and team development.
One change to the currently approved program is that the proposal reduces the collaborative effort to
three of the University’s academic units: the Department of Counseling, Higher Education, and Special
Education (CHSE) in the College of Education, Industrial and Organizational Psychology in the Department
of Psychology (PSYC), and Military Sociology in the Department of Sociology (SOCY). The latter two units
are both in the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences (BSOS). The Office of International and Executive
Programs (OIEP in BSOS) is no longer participating as the principal and administrative unit. As a result,
CHSE will serve as the principal unit and the Office of Extended Studies will provide administrative support.
The proposed plan of study is both a continuation of the current program as well as one which incorporates
curriculum changes. The proposed plan of study has reordered the course offering sequence (see chart 1),
kept several courses (see chart 2), offered new courses (see chart 2), and eliminated courses (see chart 2).
Since 2006, all courses have undergone slight modification, relating them to issues that are prominent in
the United States Naval Academy. Students are required to apply their knowledge to their future position
as Company Officers. The new plan of study reflects the modifications that have taken place over this fiveyear period.
The LEAD program is built around the following seven fundamental themes: (1) leadership theory and
application, (2) group and organizational dynamics, (3) counseling and mentoring skills and techniques, (4)
student development theory and applications (cognitive, affective and moral development), (5) college
teaching, learning and curriculum development, (6) military sociology, and (7) integration and application
contextualized in the navy environment.
As stated above, Extended Studies will provide administrative support which includes program
management (including program compliance with all University regulations, policies, and procedures),
financial management (including faculty contracting and faculty pay processing), and student services
management (including support for admissions, registration, payment, financial aid, and other campus
services).
Academic direction and administrative support for LEAD is as follows:
Dennis Kivlighan, Chair, Department of Counseling, Higher Education, and Special Education; ,
Charles Caramello, Dean, The Graduate School
Terrie Hruzd, Director of Programs, Office of Extended Studies
The current and proposed curriculum (chart 1) for LEAD is as follows:

III. STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENT
The purpose of this assessment plan is to set clear guidelines, identify articulated outcomes, and ensure avenues for
continuous improvement for each graduate certificate program managed by the Program Oversight Committee and
Proposal for revised instructional program, professional master, p. 7
housed in the Graduate School. It is our mission to provide programs that meet UMD’s institutional goals and
objectives for educational activities.
The LEAD program is built around the following seven fundamental curricular themes: (1) leadership theory and
application, (2) group and organizational dynamics, (3) counseling and mentoring skills and techniques, (4) student
development theory and applications (cognitive, affective and moral development), (5) college teaching and
curriculum development, (6) military sociology, and (7) integration and application contextualized in the navy
environment. The following represent the associated learning outcome objectives:
THINKING CRITICALLY: All courses in the proposed curriculum will require active participation of the students. The
courses, while imparting substantial amounts of materials, will require the student to analyze and integrate material
within and across courses and to develop the ability to critically analyze the material presented. In addition, all
courses are being modified slightly to relate them to issues that are most prominent in the USNA and the require
students to apply their knowledge to their future position at the USNA.
THINKING ANALYTICALLY: Underlying all of the proposed courses is the emphasis on the enhancement of the
student’s ability to analyze material and issues within the framework of the behavioral and social sciences as they
apply in a military organization. The abilities to define a problem, marshal and analyze relevant literature, acquire
and analyze relevant data, and reach conclusions that are data-based, are central to all of the courses. The final
seminar (EDCP 789Z) will enhance these skills using the case study method. The seminar will require students to
apply all that they have learned to real-life problems that they will encounter as Company Officers.
ROLE MODELING AND MENTORING: This objective is met through a combination of courses and experiences
facilitated by the program. EDCP 789, SOCY 699N, and PSYC 603 provide an interdisciplinary understanding of
leadership and motivation, motivational techniques, and the application of leadership and motivation theories and
concepts. In EDCP 618 and SOCY 699N the students will acquire knowledge of the techniques of role modeling and
mentoring and apply them in a teaching environment. The teaching will be done with the supervision and assistance
of a regular member of the teaching faculty. In this setting, students will be able to learn how to apply their
mentoring skills in a higher education environment. The materials in these courses are integrated to provide a
comprehensive and coordinated understanding of the elements of this objective.
ENHANCING INDIVIDUAL AND TEAM PERFORMANCE: This objective is met through a combination of courses and
experiences facilitated by the program. Courses in EDCP (618 and 775) and SOCY (699L and 699N) and PSYC 603
provide an interdisciplinary understanding of the appraisal techniques, counseling techniques, team development,
and the development of plans for individuals and teams. Counseling techniques are also taught in the EDCP-rubric
courses, and all of the courses provide the theoretical foundations for character development. A special course
(EDCP789P) has been developed to address the objective of understanding and applying ethical theory and military
ethics.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: In all courses students will be required to develop their writing and oral communication
skills. In the seminars (EDCP 789P, 789V, 789D, and 789Z) they will be required to create and make presentations
using the latest presentation technologies. Effective time management is addressed in the seminars and in PSYC 603.
The bulk of this objective will be covered in substantive courses in Sociology (664, 699L, and 699N). These courses
cover current events as they impact the military and broader society, what effect these events have on the Naval
profession, and how the USNA and its students are shaped by such developments.
INDIVIDUAL, TEAM, AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: In several courses (PSYC 603 and SOCY664, 699L, and
699N) and in the EDCP-rubric seminars cover the general theory and the special application of individual, team, and
organizational development theories in the military. Students will be able to apply these ideas and techniques during
seminar discussions and in case studies during the final semester of the program.
Proposal for revised instructional program, professional master, p. 8
UNDERSTANDING THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IN AN UNDERGRADUATE SETTING: As noted in Role Modeling and
Mentoring, the LEAD program will give students extensive training in undergraduate teaching techniques and then
have them apply what they have learned by co-teaching an undergraduate leadership course (EDCP 317) under
supervision from a regular member of the teaching faculty. After completing this sequence and the other EDCP-rubric
courses, the students will be able to design, deliver and assess leadership courses in the USNA.
