management. In the state there are three undergraduate programs (Winthrop, Clemson,

and USC-Columbia) which are expected to be feeders for this program.

USC-Columbia indicates that one replacement tenure-track faculty member, for

replacement of a recently deceased incumbent, will be hired for the first year of the

program’s implementation. In the second year of the program, another new tenure-track

faculty member will be hired. All faculty members teaching in the master-level program

will be full-time members of the USC faculty, who also teach in the undergraduate

program of the Department of Sport and Entertainment. Altogether for the graduate

program an the faculty will begin with six (2.5 FTE) will be available during the first

year of the program’s operation; and rise to seven (3.5 FTE) in the second year and

thereafter. All faculty will possess the terminal degree.

Enrollment in the proposed program is estimated to begin at 20 headcount (21.25

FTE) in FY 2004-05 and increase to 40 headcount (40 FTE) in FY 2008-09. Estimates

are based on the number of students in the baccalaureate program who have expressed

interest in matriculating into the proposed program and USC’s projection of additional

students enrolling from outside the ranks of recent graduates of its own undergraduate

program.

If enrollment projections are met, the program will meet the current CHE

program productivity standards.

The program will not be subject to any separate

professional accreditation process.

No additional costs for the physical plant have been noted, since a 2003 renovation

program provided all the space the program is thought to need in its first five years of

implementation. The library support will need additional $4,000 to add to the collection

in sport and entertainment in years three, four, and five of the program’s implementation,

for a total of $12,000.

New costs for the program are estimated to begin at $ 31,873 in year one and

include administrative ($5,000), graduate assistants ($13,000), fringe benefits ($9,873),

and supplies ($4,000). Estimated costs increase to $101,527 by year five and include

administrative ($5,000), faculty salaries ($51,827), graduate assistants ($26,500), supplies

($4,000), library ($4,000), and fringe benefits ($10,200). The total estimated new cost is

$428,580 for the program’s first five years. This cost estimate includes only the cost of

one new faculty member’s salary.

Shown below are the estimated Mission Resource Requirement (MRR) costs to

the state and new costs not funded by the MRR associated with implementation of the

proposed program for its first five years.

Also shown are the estimated revenues

projected under the MRR and the Resource Allocation Plan as well as student tuition.
