Condition Text: Letter of Intent valid for one year. The Board of Regents granted conditional approval for the Bachelor of Science in Sport Administration (CIP Code 31.0504) at Louisiana State University and A&M College, effective Spring 2009. Beginning December 1, 2009, and annually on that date until accreditation by COSMA has been achieved, the University shall submit a progress report to the Associate Commissioner for Academic Affairs detailing: 1. Numbers of students and graduates; 2. Adequacy of faculty and resources; and 3. Progress toward COSMA accreditation. Because of possible duplication concerns between this proposed program and the existing B.S. program in Sports Management at Southeastern Louisiana University (SLU), both universities are hereby directed to meet and formulate a plan for cooperation in course and program delivery and content that compliments both programs and mitigates curricular overlap. A report documenting the efforts of both universities in this regard shall be due to the Associate Commissioner for Academic Affairs by March 15, 2009. In addition to these efforts, the staff shall monitor student enrollment /graduation/placement in both programs to determine whether south Louisiana can maintain two such similar programs at adequate levels of student participation and production.
