Abstract

Viewed as an innovation by many, CBE programs require traditional institutions to examine current practices with a view towards adaptation and change. Through the lenses of people, processes, and philosophies, this chapter presents general considerations of how the design of a CBE program on a traditional campus impacts the areas of senior leader decision making, administrative structure, curriculum design, functional units, technology, and accreditation. Each section within this chapter includes specific details of how a small, private, traditional university approached these areas during the development of a fully technology-enabled undergraduate CBE program.
