Academic Recommendations

Regional employers need specialties within the Bachelor of Science in Engineering program.

A baccalaureate major in criminal justice/law enforcement should be expedited.

This study supports the need for graduate-level studies in sales management, communications, maintenance management, clinical nursing, and other health-related programs.

The University should seek ways to link with the regional plastics industry.

Because of the increasing significance of logistics, transportation, and distribution to the regional and national economies, USI should consider developing programs in these areas.

Regional healthcare professionals have expressed a need for USI to assist with several issues, key among them the development of a health informatics program. USI also can play a role in the continuing strong demand for registered nurses.

Given the growth of the regional hospitality industry, USI should examine opportunities to partner with other institutions for hospitality management, and study the possibility of USI’s food service management (nutrition) program as a foundation for a baccalaureate program in hospitality.
