Fall 2008
University Approval
To the Board and the Executive Director: I certify that I have read this request, that I believe it to
be accurate, and that it has been evaluated and approved as provided by university policy.
8-1-07
Date
President of the University
After approval by the President, a signed copy of the proposal should be transmitted to the Executive
Director. Only after Executive Director review should the proposal be posted on the university web site
and the Board staff and the other universities notified of the URL.
1. What is the need for this program in this site (these sites)? What is the expected demand
for graduates in the site(s)?
This degree program is currently available on campus in Madison and at the University Center in
Sioux Falls. Because of the emphasis on information technology in the South Dakota economy,
the university has received requests to make the program available to a wider audience (to
students at CUC in Pierre, for example). The degree program provides students with a strong
academic background in both business administration and information systems. Moving the
program to Internet will provide greater access to students outside the Madison and Sioux Falls
areas.
2. Is any regental university authorized to offer a similar program at the new site(s)? Is
any non-system institution offering a similar program at the new site(s)? If either answer is
“yes,” identify the institution(s) and program(s) and explain why authorization is
requested.
No other regental institution is authorized to offer this degree program. As indicated above,
Dakota State University currently offers the degree program on campus and at University Center
in Sioux Falls. A similar program (B.S. in information Technology) is offered by Colorado
Technical University in Sioux Falls but that is a face-to-face program, not Internet-delivered.
3. Are students expected to be new to the university or redirected from other programs or
both? Complete the table and explain how the estimates were developed. How will the new
site(s) affect enrollments in other campus and off-campus programs in the regental
system?

program courses.
Impact on Existing Programs
Offering the degree program via Internet should have little or not impact on the enrollments in
the face-to-face courses being offered on campus in Madison or at University Center in Sioux
Falls.
4. Complete the table and explain any special circumstances. Attach a copy of the program
as it appears in the current catalog. If any program modifications are requested, attach
that form. Explain how the new courses will be delivered. Attach the new course request
forms.
A copy of the program as it appears in the current catalog is provided as Appendix A.
That table also includes a summary of the major-specific courses that are currently
offered via Internet and face-to-face by the regental institutions. A course delivery
schedule has been developed by DSU to ensure that students have sufficient opportunities
to complete the required degree program courses within a 5-year time period.

5. How will you provide student services comparable to those available for students on the
main campus?
Because DSU has other distance-delivered programs, many of our student services are already
available via distance (library, WebCT training, etc.).
Advising of Management Information Systems majors will be provided by university faculty via
email, telephone or live chat.
6. Is this program accredited by a specialized accrediting body? If so, address any program
accreditation issues and costs related to offering the program at the new site(s).
The program is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs
(ACBSP). Since this degree program is already delivered at University Center, the addition of
another delivery point should not create any issues or additional costs.
7. Does the University request any exceptions to Board policy for delivery at the new
site(s)? Explain requests for exceptions to Board policy. If no exceptions are requested, enter
“None.”
None.
8. Costs, Budget & Resources Related to New Courses at the Site: Explain the amount and
source(s) of any one-time and continuing investments in personnel, professional
development, release time, instructional technology and software, other O&M, facilities,
student services, etc needed to implement the program at the new site(s).
Nearly all the program requirements are already available via Internet, either from DSU or from
one of the other regental institutions. (See the table included in Question 4 above and the
information provided in Appendix A.) As a consequence, delivery of the program by Internet
does not create significant course development or program delivery costs for the university.
There should be no additional costs to the university resulting from approval of this request to
deliver the degree program via the Internet.
