Students in the degree programs can choose to live on the Tampa campus,but they will be considered USF Sarasota-Manatee Home Campus students for academicpurposes. USF Sarasota-Manatee will schedule and deliver the Hospitality courses, credentialthe faculty to teach them, and confer the degrees.

2. BACKGROUND INFORMATIONProvide a clear statement of the nature and purpose of the change in the context of the institution'smission and goals; evidence of the legal authority for the change (if authorization is required by thegoverning board or the state); and whether the proposed degree program or similar program is offered onthe main campus or at other approved off-campus sites.Offering the Hospitality degrees at USF in Tampa aligns with USF Sarasota-Manatee's missionand strategic plan. It also aligns with the USF System goals of leveraging resources across itsmember institutions and avoiding academic duplication.USF Sarasota-Manatee's mission is the following:The University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee provides access to professionalhigher education programs and scholarly research in a personalized living and learningcommunity that graduates successful leaders who empower Florida's Suncoast to thrivelocally, nationally, and globally.The hosted program aligns to the University's Teaching & Learning Access Goal1a, becausethe program will "Expand academic programs in distinctive areas related to the Suncoast'sneeds and strengths and across disciplines." Furthermore, the hosted program providesalignment with Public Service and Community Engagement Goal1d: "Partner with . the USFSystem."Regarding legal authority to offer the degree, USF Sarasota-Manatee already awards the BS inHospitality Management and the BSAS with a concentration in Hospitality Management. Neitherthe USF Board of Trustees nor the Florida Board of Governors requires additional approvals.3. ASSESSMENT OF NEED AND PROGRAM PLANNING/APPROVALBriefly discuss the rationale for the change, including an assessment of need; evidence of inclusion ofthe change in the institution's ongoing planning and evaluation processes; and documentation that facultyand other groups were involved in the review and. approval of the new site or program.In the Tampa Bay region, a hotbed for tourism nationally and internationally, USF SarasotaManatee is the only public university with a bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management.Industry leaders from the Tampa Bay region have committed their support to this hostingagreement as shown by the support letters in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU),included in Appendix 1.USF Sarasota-Manatee piloted Hospitality courses on the USF campus in Tampa for the pastthree years. Many students taking courses in Tampa expressed strong interest in majoring inHospitality but remaining on the Tampa campus. Some students live in Tampa and carpool 50miles to the Sarasota campus to major in Hospitality. Table 1 shows the enrollment growth inTampa courses.University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee Substantive Change Prospectus- October 20145

With thousands of freshmen beginning their higher education career every year inTampa, a major in Hospitality Management would round out the undergraduate degree offeringsthere. However, university administrators see no need to duplicate degrees within the USFSystem when a member institution offering the degree has capacity and resources to expand.Both institutions see the mutual benefit of this hosting agreement and worked together to designthe program for students. Evidence of inclusion of the change in USF Sarasota-Manatee'songoing planning and evaluation can be found in the College of Hospitality and Technology's2013-14 Unit Assessment Report and 2014-15 Unit Assessment Plan in Appendix 2.Participation, collaboration, negotiation, and extensive discussion among faculty, staff, andadministrators from both USF Sarasota-Manatee and USF in Tampa resulted in the executedMOU that governs the hosting arrangement.
