Special Tuition Rate, Master of Science in Business Administration, Urbana

(9) T h e chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus has recommended the establishment of a special tuition rate for the Master of Science option in Business Administration, College of Commerce and Business Administration. An international program option has been available for some years, covering an academic year and two summer sessions and designed to serve a middle management clientele. The results of a study indicate strong demand now for this program, especially from students from foreign countries. Foreign students who enroll receive intensive instruction that includes, in addition to the twelve units required for the normal completion of the degree, a special series of management-development seminars describing American business concepts and practices, a number of field trips, and numerous seminars with American executives. Since the program now is designed to provide special services to foreign students, it is intended that the University receive a cost reimbursement from the participants or their sponsors. O n the basis of cost estimates for an enrollment of thirteen students, an annual tuition rate of $12,500 per student, effective with the 1986-87 academic year, is recommended. Tuition funds will support two F T E faculty, administrative costs, operating expenses, and graduate assistants to aid faculty in course preparation, grading, and individual instruction. Other required general fees and additional charges connected with this program have been established at $7,000 for the 1986-87 academic year. Thus, the total program cost per student will be $19,500. I concur in this recommendation.

On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this recommendation was approved. Amendments, University of Illinois Statutes Article III (Campuses, Colleges and Similar Campus Units)

(10) The University Senates Conference has recommended amendments to Article I I I (Campuses, Colleges and Similar Campus Units), Section 4 (The School and Similar Campus Units) and Article I I I , Section 5 (The Dean or Director of a School or Similar Campus Unit) of the University of Illinois Statutes. The two sections under consideration deal with educational and administrative units, other than colleges and departments, of an intermediate character designed to meet particular needs. Such units may be organized independently of a college or within a college.
