CfA is the first program of its kind to be approved by a regional accreditor, the first to be approved for Title IV support under direct assessment of learning provisions, and was recently featured in The Chronicle of Higher Education. In this workshop, which stems from a presentation voted Best in Show: 2012 UPCEA New England Region, members of the CfA leadership team will provide insights into the program’s design and approach, and SNHU President Paul LeBlanc and Barbara Brittingham, Director/President of the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (NEASC), accreditor of the CfA program, will explore the implications of competency-based education for accreditation and in the changing landscape of higher education in general.

Funding models are not a one size fits all. Factors such as institutional structure, unit organization, program capacity, and state statutes dictate the successful financial model for entrepreneurial initiatives. Administrative leaders responsible for the advancement of distance education must work closely with their institution’s business professionals to optimize outcomes. Beginning with a panel of highly respected members of NACUBO – senior university business officers with direct engagement in their institution’s distance education efforts – examine three distinct university approaches to funding online/continuing operations. Following these case study presentations and audience discussion, attendees will engage in an open conversation with fellow participants. This facilitated dialogue poses questions such as, “What keeps you up at night?” Attendees are invited to bring ideas about the challenges they face and various solutions they employ or are considering. Finally, UPCEA’s Center for Research and Consulting (CRC) will conduct an onsite poll of participants’ perceptions of current and future financial issues and trends; findings will help shape dialogue in Boston as well as inform a major CRC study on the management and strategy of online education scheduled for later in 2013.
