E. Written responses indicating consultation with other units affected by the proposed
program. In addition, if the program is to be offered on-line or use technology as the
primary delivery method to serve off-campus students, the World Campus should be
consulted at the earliest possible stage of program development and a letter of consultation
must be provided from the Director of the World Campus.
The D.Ed. program has already been approved by the Graduate Council and no other such
advanced degree programs are offered anywhere at Penn State. Academic Outreach are
partnering with the unit in the development and delivery of the program. See letter of support
from Wayne Smutz, Associate Vice President for Academic Outreach, on page 16.
F. Off-campus programs must incorporate a mechanism for assessing program quality
through student surveys for feedback at critical milestones in the program as well as a
student exit questionnaire at the time of graduation.
The program will utilize our standard evaluation program that includes Penn State’s online
semester evaluation of course and instructor [Student Rating of Teaching Effectiveness] as well
