Proposed BS in Behavioral Healthcare - University of South Florida ...

USF Board of Trustees
June 14, 2012
Agenda item: (to be completed by Board staff)
Issue: BS in Behavioral Healthcare
_________________________________________________________________________
Proposed action: Approve implementation of a BS in Behavioral Healthcare at USF
Tampa.
______________________________________________________________________
Background information:
The Department of Mental Health, Law & Policy, in the Louis de la Parte Florida Mental
Health Institute, College of Behavioral and Community Sciences seeks approval to offer an
undergraduate degree program in Behavioral Healthcare, specifically programs in mental
health and substance abuse services. FMHI was established by state legislation in 1967
with research as the primarily focus. In 1981 it was administratively relocated under the
University of South Florida. In addition to research, the Institute has a long history of
providing consultation and training to state government and community agencies of our
state in the area of behavioral healthcare..
The BS in Behavioral Healthcare will prepare students for entry-level positions in human
service agencies that deliver mental health and substance abuse services. It is anticipated
that students will seek graduate level degrees after obtaining experience in the field. No
new resources are required to implement this program.
The academic curriculum builds on the successful minor in behavioral healthcare offered for
several years. Only three new classes are required beyond current offerings to meet the
degree requirements. The proposed program increases USF’s career-oriented offerings by
preparing students for employment in the field of Behavioral Healthcare.
The proposed program has been approved by the Florida Mental Health Institute’s
Curriculum Committee, the College of Behavioral and Community Sciences’ Curriculum
Committee, and the USF Undergraduate Council.
Significant Policy Issues for the Board to Consider:
The USF System Board of Trustees has the authority to approve implementation on new degree
programs at the bachelor’s level. Proposed new programs require evaluation of budget and
resource implications and a determination that the programs advance the USF System mission
and are in accord with the strategic plans and priorities of the USF System Board of Trustees
and the Florida Board of Governors. All of these issues were addressed at the various levels of
review and in the development of this program.

INTRODUCTION
I. Program Description and Relationship to System-Level Goals
A. Briefly describe within a few paragraphs the degree program under consideration,
including (a) level; (b) emphases, including concentrations, tracks, or specializations; (c)
total number of credit hours; and (d) overall purpose, including examples of employment
or education opportunities that may be available to program graduates.
(a) Level
The B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare is an undergraduate, baccalaureate degree.
(b) Concentrations
The B. S. in Behavioral Healthcare is designed to prepare students for entry-level
positions in mental health and substance abuse agencies. The program includes four
concentrations:
Adult Community Services
Research
Applied Behavioral Analysis
Children’s Mental Health
(c) Total number of credits
The B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare (BHC) is a 37-hour program consisting of 22 hours of
foundation courses and 15 hours in one of the four concentrations.
In order to complete the 120 hours needed for the baccalaureate degree, students will
complete the USF General Education requirements (36 hours), USF Capstone Experience
requirements (6 hours), and may opt to complete additional concentrations within the
Behavioral Healthcare major (15 hours each) and related electives or a second major
such as Psychology (34 hours), Sociology (36 hours), Criminology (36 hours),
Gerontology (36 hours); and/or one or more minors in related disciplines such as
Psychology (18 hours), Sociology (18 hours), Criminology (18-hours), Gerontology (15
hours).
(d) Purpose
The purpose of the B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare is to prepare students for entry-level
positions in agencies that provide treatment for individuals with mental health and/or
substance abuse problems. Program graduates will have employment opportunities
working in community agencies that provide direct services to individuals and their
families as well as state agencies that provide oversight of publically funded programs.
It is anticipated that most graduates will gain direct employment experience for two or
more years and then seek graduate degrees in disciplines such as mental health
counseling, psychology, social work, applied behavior analysis, aging studies, public
health, or public administration. Students completing the Research Concentration will
be prepared for direct entry into research doctoral programs.

B. Describe how the proposed program is consistent with the current State University
System (SUS) Strategic Planning Goals. Identify which specific goals the program will
directly support and which goals the program will indirectly support. (See the SUS
Strategic Plan at http://www.flbog.org/about/strategicplan/)
Goal One: Access to and production of degrees
The B.S in Behavioral Healthcare will provide students with access to a degree program that
is not currently available in the state of Florida. When fully operational, the B.S. in
Behavioral Healthcare is projected to serve approximately 132 students each year with 50 -
60 degrees produced annually.
Goal Two: Meeting statewide professional and workforce needs.
The B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare will prepare graduates for state certification as a (1)
Certified Addictions Professional, (2) Certified Behavioral Health Technician, (3) Certified
Mental Health Professional, (4) Certified Prevention Specialist, (5) Recovery Peer Specialist,
or (6) Recovery Support Specialist. Approximately 90% of the workforce in Florida’s
behavioral healthcare service agencies requires a baccalaureate degree. This is the only
baccalaureate degree focusing specifically on behavioral healthcare in the state (although
Indian River State College offers with a B.S. in Human Services that offers a concentration in
Addictions Studies). There is a significant gap between the AA/AS human services
programs offered by Florida community colleges that prepare technician-level personnel
and the licensed professional graduate programs that prepare clinical personal. The B.S. in
Behavioral Healthcare will begin to fill this gap in the workforce by preparing graduates
who have specialized education and training in mental health, substance abuse, and cooccurring
disorders.
Goal Three: Building world-class academic programs and research capacity.
The B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare is being offered by faculty affiliated with the Louis de la
Parte Florida Mental Health Institute who are world-class researchers in the field of
behavioral health. These faculty are actively involved in conducting research for the state of
Florida that has national and international implications. For example, the faculty conduct
research for the Florida Agency Healthcare Administration (AHCA), the Florida
Department of Health, the Department of Children and Families (DCF), Florida Department
of Education, the Florida Department of Elder Affairs, as well as federally funded research
sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute on Drug Abuse,
and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. This program will
also help the state to build its research capacity through the Research Concentration that
will serve as a pipeline for undergraduate students to prepare for graduate school and
research careers.
Goal Four: Meeting Community Needs and Fulfilling Unique Institutional
Responsibilities
The University of South Florida, home of the Florida Mental Health Institute, has a unique
institutional responsibility to respond to state and community needs for behavioral
healthcare (please see item C below for indicators of community and state need). The statemandated
mission of the Florida Mental Health Institute is to strengthen mental health
services throughout the state by providing specialized education and conducting research in
behavioral health. The B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare will help USF meet its unique
institutional responsibility to provide specialized education in behavioral healthcare.

Revised 02/01/2012
C. If the program is to be included in an Area of Programmatic Strategic Emphasis as
described in the SUS Strategic Plan, please indicate the category and the justification for
inclusion.
The Areas of Programmatic Strategic Emphasis:
1. Critical Needs:
• Education
• Health Professions
• Security and Emergency Services
2. Economic Development:
• Globalization
• Regional Workforce Demand
3. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)
The B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare responds to the state’s critical need in the area of health
professions. The critical need for behavioral healthcare is perhaps best reflected by the $968
million budget of the Department of Children and Families devoted to mental health and
substance abuse. The mental health budget is $764 million of that total. Nearly half of this
amount is spent on forensic, civil, and sexual predator placements in state hospitals or
contracted facilities. The other half is spent on community-based care. (Florida Council for
Community Mental Health, 2011). A survey of community behavioral healthcare agencies
resulted in the finding that employee turnover in treatment facilities is high, in part, because
employees feel inadequately prepared to provide the specialized treatment needed by
individuals with mental health and substance abuse problems. Employee turnover is fiscally
inefficient for agencies and can result in uneven quality of care as new employees are hired
and trained. The B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare will help local agencies to make the best use of
limited state dollars by providing individuals who have specialized education and training to
meet the state’s mental health and substance abuse service needs.
D. Identify any established or planned educational sites at which the program is expected to
be offered and indicate whether it will be offered only at sites other than the main campus.
The B. S. in Behavioral Healthcare will be offered on the USF Tampa Campus. No other sites
are planned.
INSTITUTIONAL AND STATE LEVEL ACCOUNTABILITY
II.
Need and Demand
A. Need: Describe national, state, and/or local data that support the need for more people to
be prepared in this program at this level. Reference national, state, and/or local plans or
reports that support the need for this program and requests for the proposed program
which have emanated from a perceived need by agencies or industries in your service
area. Cite any specific need for research and service that the program would fulfill.
National Level
Over ten years ago, the Surgeon General’s Report on Mental Health (DHHS, 1999) identified
a national crisis due to inadequacies in the supply of well-trained mental health
professionals. In 2003, the tenuous state of the behavioral healthcare workforce was again
highlighted in a report issued by the President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental
Health (DHHS, 2003). In this report, the Commission noted the “workforce crisis” in
behavioral healthcare, including shortages of treatment providers and a lack of practitioners
who are adequately trained in evidence-based and other innovative practices. The report
5

Revised 02/01/2012
recommended that substantive training in evidence-based practices be offered in
baccalaureate education programs to ensure that direct-care staff would be equipped to use
the latest breakthrough approaches.
During this same time period, the Annapolis Coalition was initiated by the American College
of Mental Health Administration and the Academic Behavioral Health Consortium. The
Annapolis Coalition resulted from growing national concerns about the relevance and
effectiveness of existing efforts to train providers of mental health and addiction services.
The Coalition concluded that bachelor-level, direct-care providers were being given minimal
training in treatment interventions, even though they are often the individuals who have the
most contact with people receiving treatment. In their report on the Conference on Behavioral
Health Workforce Competencies (2004), the Coalition acknowledged that it is “essential” that
the training most often provided only in graduate-level professional programs be extended
to “…the continuing education of the existing workforce and to…bachelor-level staff
members...” (p. 5).
Behavioral healthcare is a subset of the Human Services classifications for occupational
outlook analyses. Occupations in Human Services are projected to grow by 19%between
2008 and 2018. This is one of the few career clusters that weathered the recession and came
out relatively unscathed; it continued to add jobs, albeit at a slightly slower pace in 2008 and
2009. Job growth is expected to peak at a 3%in 2012 and maintain steady 1 to 2%
growth per year from 2013 through 2018 (retrieved from The Center on Education and the
Workforce http://cew.georgetown.edu/). Burk (2011) reported similar projections:
One of the projected employment sectors is that of bachelorlevel
human service workers. Although true also for doctoral
and other advanced degree professionals, the need for
frontline caregivers has seen a strong increase in recent years.
In the field of mental health with the closure of many state
institutions, the demand for case managers and support
personnel has dramatically grown. Health Affairs 30, 1402-1410.
In terms of the marketability of a degree in behavioral healthcare, 64,606 bachelor's degrees
were awarded nationally in human services programs (this number does not include
degrees in Social Work). Of these graduates, 94% of graduates were employed following
graduation with 88% employed full-time. The Occupational Outlook Handbook identifies
psychiatric aides and mental health and addictions counselors as having high employment
potential. The median salary for these positions was $38,000 ($27,000 at the 25 th percentile
and $53,000 at the 75 th percentile). Twenty seven percent of the graduates were found to
proceed to graduate school (retrieved from The Center on Education and the Workforce
http://cew.georgetown.edu/).
The National Council for Community Behavioral Health conducts a salary survey of
behavioral healthcare providers on an annual basis. The median salary of bachelor-level
employees ranged from $29,200 to $41,000 in an additions treatment program. Both the
lowest and highest salaries were in treatment programs housed within hospital settings.
Outside of hospital settings, the highest salaries were in entities owned by state or local
governments (median salary of $39,500) with the lowest median salaries in private not-forprofit
organizations ($32,500).
State/Local Level
Behavioral healthcare agencies in the United States and in Florida employ large numbers of
Bachelor’s level personnel. Less than 10% of the employees are professionally licensed or
certified with a Master’s or Doctoral degree. Hiring patterns suggest that most of the
6

Revised 02/01/2012
workforce personnel are drawn from a wide range of academic backgrounds beyond
degrees in social work and psychology. Most job advertisements include wording such as
“…a degree in psychology (or social work) or other human service discipline.” In the State
of Florida, due to lower salaries and higher demands, many positions that would be
classified as Master’s level in other states are filled by Bachelor’s level personnel.
In preparation for submitting this proposal, we conducted key informant interviews with
not-for-profit behavioral healthcare agencies in two counties in the Tampa Bay area (Pinellas
and Hillsborough) as sample of metropolitan service providers. The agencies varied in size,
ranging from one that employs several hundred individuals to small programs that may
employ only a director and one or two staff members. It is estimated that more than 30
agencies employ over 100 individuals and an additional 30 agencies employ over 50
bachelor’s level workers each. Several themes emerged from the key informant interviews:
1) The ratio of bachelor’s level to master and doctoral staff was high. Typically, agencies
reported employing only one or two staff members with graduate-level professional
licenses. The remaining staff were bachelor-level employees. A common finding was
that many of the unlicensed staff members were working toward professional status
after obtaining experience on the job (e.g., working on their master’s degree or
completing an internship required for professional licensure as a mental health
counselor).
2) Bachelor’s level staff provided assistance with counseling or other therapeutic services
that are not delivered via the traditional office visits used in the private psychotherapy
model, i.e., the services are provided during home visits, at drop-in centers, in
residential programs, or day treatment programs.
3) The most common titles employed by Bachelor’s level staff were case managers,
residential counselors, psychosocial program counselors, day treatment counselors,
and crisis and emergency screeners.
4) Every agency interviewed indicated a high rate of turnover. They attributed the high
turnover rates to the high stress of the positions as well as to insufficient educational
experiences prior to hiring. The agencies were frustrated with the lack of preparation
of entry-level employees to work with individuals with mental health or substance
abuse problems. They felt college graduates had only theoretical knowledge of these
issues and little education/training that would prepare them for jobs.
5) All agencies were hiring bachelor-level employees even with the budget constraints
limiting new positions. Nearly every agency interviewed had 1 to 4 bachelor-level
positions open at the time of the interviews. One agency subsequently reported they
had 27 positions available for bachelor-level employees (personal correspondence with
agency director).
B. Demand: Describe data that support the assumption that students will enroll in the
proposed program. Include descriptions of surveys or other communications with
prospective students.
An online survey of USF undergraduate students in social/behavioral disciplines was
conducted to determine potential interest in majoring in Behavioral Healthcare. Two
hundred and sixty two students (N = 262) completed the survey. Of these, 43% planned to
or were majoring in psychology, 21% in criminology, 11% in social work, 10% in
communication sciences and disorders, and 9% in public health 9%. The remaining 21%
were planning to major in or were majoring in a variety of social science disciplines (e.g.,
7

Revised 02/01/2012
anthropology, gerontology, sociology, public health). Approximately 50% of the students
were seniors, 35% juniors, 12% sophomores, and 2% freshmen.
When asked if they would major in Behavioral Healthcare if the degree existed, 32% of the
students reported they would be extremely likely or very likely to enroll in this major and
an additional 19% said they would be moderately likely to seek a degree in Behavioral
Healthcare as their first major. In addition, 50% of the students expressed interest in
Behavioral Healthcare as a second major. Students provided numerous responses
demonstrating their enthusiasm for the creation of the B. S. in Behavioral Healthcare as is
illustrated by the following comments:
I feel that providing the option to students to major in this area would be
greatly beneficial to the university and the community at large. It is a field that
needs greater attention and more professionals especially considering these
changing times we are living in and the effect it is having on the lives of many.
Hope the major is created!!! [I took the Behavioral Healthcare minor and it]
not only changed by perceptions of what psychology really is but enlightened
me on what I want to do with my career and life! So important for people
going into the field and having the critical knowledge they need to be effective
in behavioral healthcare professions.
C. If substantially similar programs (generally at the four-digit CIP Code or 60 percent
similar in core courses), either private or public exist in the state, identify the
institution(s) and geographic location(s). Summarize the outcome(s) of communication
with such programs with regard to the potential impact on their enrollment and
opportunities for possible collaboration (instruction and research). In Appendix B,
provide data that support the need for an additional program as well as letters of support,
or letters of concern, from the provosts of other state universities with substantially
similar programs.
The CIP Code for the B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare is 44.0000.
No Florida public university offers an undergraduate program in Behavioral Healthcare.
Florida Gulf Coast University lists a program in the same CIP code on the state inventory,
the B.S. in Human Services. However this program is no longer active. Telephone
communication with FGCU indicated that they initiated the Human Services degree as a
way to accommodate students who were interested in obtaining a degree in Social Work
before FGCU was able to offer a Social Work degree. When FGCU obtained approval to
offer an accredited Social Work degree, they discontinued the Human Services degree.
Indian River State College now offers a B.S. in Human Services. This program includes
concentrations in Addictions Studies, Youth and Family Studies, and a Generalist
concentration. This program is tailored to meet the needs of students who have completed
AA/AS/AAS degrees at Indian River State College (state course pre-requisite listing).
Several private schools offer degrees in Human Services such as Saint Leo University (Saint
Leo, Florida), Eckerd College (St. Petersburg, Florida), and Lynn University (Boca Raton,
Florida). A number of other private schools such as Kaplan, Walden, Liberty and Ashford
universities have found Tampa Bay to be an attractive market for their online programs.
D. Use Table 1 in Appendix A (A for undergraduate and B for graduate) to categorize
projected student headcount (HC) and Full Time Equivalents (FTE) according to primary
sources. Generally undergraduate FTE will be calculated as 40 credit hours per year and
graduate FTE will be calculated as 32 credit hours per year. Describe the rationale
underlying enrollment projections. If, initially, students within the institution are
8

Revised 02/01/2012
expected to change majors to enroll in the proposed program, describe the shifts from
disciplines that will likely occur.
See attachment.
E. Indicate what steps will be taken to achieve a diverse student body in this program. If
the proposed program substantially duplicates a program at FAMU or FIU, provide, (in
consultation with the affected university), an analysis of how the program might have an
impact upon that university’s ability to attract students of races different from that which
is predominant on their campus in the subject program. The university’s Equal
Opportunity Officer shall review this section of the proposal and then sign and date in
the area below to indicate that the analysis required by this subsection has been reviewed
and approved.
The Department of Mental Health Law & Policy currently offers a minor in Behavioral
Healthcare. The diverse profile of the students in the minor suggests a high number of
minority students may be interested in pursuing the major. Among the 77 students enrolled
in the Behavioral Healthcare minor, 30% are from underrepresented populations including
16% who are African American, 10% Latino, 4% Asian, and 4% with a disability. If one uses
the data on the 64,606 students with Human Services degrees in the United States as a basis
to predict the diversity of potential students in the Behavioral Healthcare degree, 21% of the
graduates were African American, 1% were Hispanic, 1% were Asian, and 2% were of other
racial/ethnic backgrounds (retrieved from The Center on Education and the Workforce
http://cew.georgetown.edu/). Hence, we estimate that 20 – 30% of the students will be
from underrepresented groups in the B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare.
In order to promote a diverse student body in this program, we will conduct outreach
activities with selected USF student organizations such as the Black Student Union, the Latin
American Student Association, the Mexican American Student Association, Club Creole, the
Asian Students in America Association, and others. We have used similar techniques in
recruiting for our NSF-funded Summer Research Institute in which 49% of the participants
were minority students and 6% were students with disabilities. We will also conduct
outreach activities during Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Asian Pacific
American Month, and during Gay and Lesbian Pride Month, and at various Disability
Awareness events. These activities will be designed to highlight the contributions made by
individuals from various racial and ethnic groups to the field of Behavioral Healthcare and
the importance of reducing disparities in treatment and services among diverse populations.

Budget
A. Use Table 2 in Appendix A to display projected costs and associated funding sources for
Year 1 and Year 5 of program operation. Use Table 3 in Appendix A to show how existing
Education & General funds will be shifted to support the new program in Year 1. In
narrative form, summarize the contents of both tables, identifying the source of both
current and new resources to be devoted to the proposed program. (Data for Year 1 and
Year 5 reflect snapshots in time rather than cumulative costs.) If the university intends to
operate the program through continuing education on a cost-recovery basis or market
rate, provide a rationale for doing so and a timeline for seeking Board of Governors’
approval, if appropriate.

See attached.
B. If other programs will be impacted by a reallocation of resources for the proposed
program, identify the program and provide a justification for reallocating resources.
Specifically address the potential negative impacts that implementation of the proposed
program will have on related undergraduate programs (i.e., shift in faculty effort,
reallocation of instructional resources, reduced enrollment rates, greater use of adjunct
faculty and teaching assistants). Explain what steps will be taken to mitigate any such
impacts. Also, discuss the potential positive impacts that the proposed program might
have on related undergraduate programs (i.e., increased undergraduate research
opportunities, improved quality of instruction associated with cutting-edge research,
improved labs and library resources).
No new resources are needed to implement this program. For the most part, the courses
offered in the Behavioral Healthcare major are currently being taught for students who are
completing the existing Behavioral Healthcare minor, the Undergraduate Research
Certificate, and the Applied Behavior Analysis minor. However, reallocation of time/effort
of faculty will be needed to offer the new courses were developed to complete the BHC
major and to teach additional sections of existing courses as student enrollment grows.
These new courses/sections will be taught by faculty currently associated within two
departments of the Florida Mental Health Institute (FMHI) within the College of Behavioral
& Community Sciences: Mental Health Law & Policy and Child & Family Studies.
Historically, faculty have fulfilled the mission of FMHI primarily through research and
training with a moderate amount of teaching. The faculty have made a conscious decision
to reallocate the necessary time and effort to mount the B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare in
order (1) to respond to the critical need of the community agencies for a highly qualified
workforce in behavioral healthcare and (2) to expand their contributions to the teaching
mission of the University of South Florida. At the same time, the B.S. in Behavioral
Healthcare will not detract from the FMHI mission as defined in state statute 1004.44. The
statute includes “specialized education” as well as research, evaluation, and training as
vehicles to achieve the legislative mission of FMHI. The B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare will
provide another mechanism to fulfill the original mission of FMHI.
C. Describe other potential impacts on related programs or departments (e.g., increased need
for general education or common prerequisite courses, or increased need for required or
elective courses outside of the proposed major).
No impact is anticipated on other departments or programs.
D. Describe what steps have been taken to obtain information regarding resources (financial
and in-kind) available outside the institution (businesses, industrial organizations,
governmental entities, etc.). Describe the external resources that appear to be available to
support the proposed program.
External support is available from mental health and substance abuse treatment agencies in
the local community to support the field experience/practicum component of the Adult
Community Services concentration, the Children’s Mental Health concentration, and the
Applied Behavioral Analysis concentration. A recent survey of FMHI faculty identified
active partnerships with 71 health and mental health providers, 18 state agencies, and 31
county agencies that can serve as placement sites. In addition, the Applied Behavior
Analysis program has 14 established practicum sites within the local community that are
available to support the program.

Projected Benefit of the Program to the University, Local Community, and State
Use information from Tables 1 and 2 in Appendix A, and the supporting narrative for “Need
and Demand” to prepare a concise statement that describes the projected benefit to the
university, local community, and the state if the program is implemented. The projected
benefits can be both quantitative and qualitative in nature, but there needs to be a clear
distinction made between the two in the narrative.
The B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare will prepare graduates for entry-level jobs in agencies dealing
with mental health and substance abuse. The need for bachelor-prepared individuals with
specialty training in behavioral healthcare has been identified by the U.S. Surgeon General, the
President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, and the Annapolis Coalition.
Employment opportunities for graduates exist to support the state’s $964 million budget devoted
to mental health and substance abuse services. The program will produce approximately 60 – 75
graduates per year who will be highly qualified to meet the workforce needs of Florida’s
community mental health and substance abuse treatment programs and related agencies. No
new resources are needed to offer this program.
V. Access and Articulation – Bachelor’s Degrees Only
A. If the total number of credit hours to earn a degree exceeds 120, provide a justification for
an exception to the policy of a 120 maximum and submit a separate request to the Board
of Governors for an exception along with notification of the program’s approval. (See
criteria in Board of Governors Regulation 6C-8.014)
Not applicable.
B. List program prerequisites and provide assurance that they are the same as the approved
common prerequisites for other such degree programs within the SUS (see the Common
Prerequisite Manual at FACTS.org). The courses in the Common Prerequisite
Counseling Manual are intended to be those that are required of both native and transfer
students prior to entrance to the major program, not simply lower-level courses that are
required prior to graduation. The common prerequisites and substitute courses are
mandatory for all institution programs listed, and must be approved by the Articulation
Coordinating Committee (ACC). This requirement includes those programs designated
as “limited access.”
If the proposed prerequisites are not listed in the Manual, provide a rationale for a request
for exception to the policy of common prerequisites. NOTE: Typically, all lower-division
courses required for admission into the major will be considered prerequisites. The
curriculum can require lower-division courses that are not prerequisites for admission into
the major, as long as those courses are built into the curriculum for the upper-level 60
credit hours. If there are already common prerequisites for other degree programs with
the same proposed CIP, every effort must be made to utilize the previously approved
prerequisites instead of recommending an additional “track” of prerequisites for that CIP.
Additional tracks may not be approved by the ACC, thereby holding up the full approval
of the degree program. Programs will not be entered into the State University System
Inventory until any exceptions to the approved common prerequisites are approved by the
ACC.
No course prerequisites are listed for CIP 44.000. There is a reference in Facts.org to the
Human Services degree offered by Indian River State College. Indian River requires students
to have completed an A.A., A.S., or A.A.S. with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.25 for
admission.

C. If the university intends to seek formal Limited Access status for the proposed program,
provide a rationale that includes an analysis of diversity issues with respect to such a
designation. Explain how the university will ensure that community college transfer
students are not disadvantaged by the Limited Access status. NOTE: The policy and
criteria for Limited Access are identified in Board of Governors Regulation 6C-8.013.

INSTITUTIONAL READINESS
VI.
Related Institutional Mission and Strength
A. Describe how the goals of the proposed program relate to the institutional mission
statement as contained in the SUS Strategic Plan and the University Strategic Plan.
USF Goal One: strengthen research, creative, and scholarly endeavors (SUS Plan); expand
world-class interdisciplinary research, creative, and scholarly endeavors (USF Plan).
The B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare is built on the interdisciplinary research
foundations of the faculty in the Florida Mental Health Institute that promotes
evidence-based practice based on the outcomes of research and evaluation. FMHI
accomplishes its research through support of over $20 million per year in external
funding. Students in the Behavioral Healthcare major will benefit by being taught
by faculty who are conducting leading-edge research in the field. Of particular
relevance will be those students who opt to pursue the Research Concentration.
These students will be mentored by FMHI faculty and will be prepared to enroll in
graduate school and pursue research careers. Thus, this program contributes to the
research capacity of USF and the State by building a pipeline for future generations
of researchers with expertise in behavioral health.
USF Goal Two: improved undergraduate and graduate programs that promote intellectual
development and student success through a diverse, student-centered environment (SUS
Plan); promote globally competitive undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs
that support interdisciplinary inquiry, intellectual development, knowledge and skill
acquisition and student success through a diverse, fully-engaged, learner centered
environment (USF Plan).
Behavioral healthcare is an interdisciplinary field that draws on the expertise of
professionals and knowledge base from psychology, counseling, applied behavioral
analysis, social work, public health, education, criminology, and other related social
and behavioral science disciplines. The Behavioral Healthcare major will be
delivered by faculty who not only have expertise in these discipline areas but who
also have experience in working in multi-disciplinary treatment environments
and/or conducting research as members of interdisciplinary research teams.
The B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare will promote student success through the fieldbased
opportunities it will provide as part of the curriculum and the extra-curricular
12

Revised 02/01/2012
activities that will be offered through a Behavioral Healthcare student organization
and the existing Undergraduate Research Interest Group (URIG), a student
organization established to support the existing Undergraduate Research Certificate
in the College of Behavioral & Community Sciences.
Student success will also be promoted through the establishment of a Living-
Learning Community (LLC) scheduled to be opened in fall, 2013. The theme of the
LLC is on the helping professions, of which Behavioral Healthcare is a large part,
and is tentatively named “Help-a-Bull.” The LLC will be offered in a USF Residence
Hall and will provide special learning opportunities and community experiences for
students interested in the helping professions within the College of Behavioral &
Community Sciences.
Faculty teaching in Behavioral Healthcare have provided leadership in the use of
Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in advanced classes. PBL promotes studentcentered
learning and actively engages students in learning. PBL will be used in
advanced courses as appropriate to deliver the curriculum and promote student
learning.
USF Goal Three: engaged service that strengthens cultural and community life and
promotes lifelong learning and economic opportunity (SUS Plan); expand local and global
engagement initiatives to strengthen and sustain healthy communities and to improve the
quality of life (USF Plan).
The B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare is directly designed to improve the quality of life
of individuals who have mental health and substance abuse problems as well as the
quality of life of their families. Of particular note in Florida at the current time is the
critical problem related to the prescription pain medication epidemic resulting in
the death of 7 – 9 Floridians daily.
Effective treatment of individuals with behavioral health problems is an important
strategy to strengthening and sustaining healthy communities. Individuals who
receive effective treatment can contribute economically and socially to community
development. The crime and homelessness often associated with long-term
substance abuse can be reduced if individuals receive effective treatment and are
able to continue their employment, support families, and be active members of their
communities.
The program will also contribute to economic opportunity for program graduates.
Although entry-level salaries of behavioral healthcare workers tend to be modest,
employees have career growth opportunities by pursuing graduate degrees that will
allow them to become licensed professionals in clinical areas or to pursue leadership
positions within career-tracks in agencies.
USF Goal Four: increased fiscal self-sufficiency and appropriate state support (SUS Plan);
enhance all sources of revenue and maximize effectiveness in business practices and
financial management to establish a strong and sustainable economic base in support of US
growth.
The B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare contributes to effective use of state funding by
reallocation of faculty time and effort to respond to a critical state need for qualified
behavioral healthcare workers.
The provision of evidence-based practices in behavioral healthcare is essential to
ensure state resources devoted to mental health and substance abuse treatment lead
to the most cost-effective outcomes with high quality of care.
B. Describe how the proposed program specifically relates to existing institutional
strengths, such as programs of emphasis, other academic programs, and/or institutes and
centers.

Revised 02/01/2012
The University of South Florida is the home of the Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health
Institute. The state-mandated mission (F.S. 1004.44) of the Florida Mental Health Institute is
to strengthen mental health services throughout the state by providing training, specialized
education, evaluation, research, and other dissemination strategies. The B.S. in Behavioral
Healthcare will be taught by faculty who are members of departments affiliated with FMHI
(Mental Health Law & Policy and Child & Family Studies) and is built on the academic,
research, and clinical expertise of these faculty as well as the 45 year history of FMHI with
community-based care in Florida.
C. Provide a narrative of the planning process leading up to submission of this proposal.
Include a chronology (table) of activities, listing both university personnel directly
involved and external individuals who participated in planning. Provide a timetable of
events necessary for the implementation of the proposed program.
After the Annapolis Coalition published its report on the need for bachelor-level workforce
development in behavioral healthcare, the faculty in the Department of Mental Health Law
and Policy (MHLP) initiated discussions regarding their potential to develop academic
programs that would respond to this need. The desire to integrate the faculty expertise and
activities with the workforce needs in the field led to the establishment of an undergraduate
minor in Behavioral Healthcare.
At the time the Behavioral Healthcare minor was developed, MHLP was part of the standalone
Florida Mental Health Institute and its faculty were dedicated primarily to research
and training. In 2008, the Provost created a new College at USF, i.e., Behavioral &
Community Sciences, that aligned the FMHI departments with the departments of Social
Work, Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling, Aging Studies, Criminology, and
Communication Sciences and Disorders. The establishment of the new college provided the
academic infrastructure to support the development of new academic programs by the
FMHI departments and provided the impetus for this proposal. Several deliberative steps
were initiated to plan the B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare. A survey of MHLP faculty was
conducted to determine faculty interest in new program development. A departmental
Academic Planning Committee was established in 2008 to facilitate curriculum
development. This Committee convened several meetings with the faculty to design and
review the curriculum as follows:

RCS 4033 Overview of Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling Professions (3
hours)
Prerequisites: Sophomore status.
This course introduces students to the human services and multiple counseling professions,
including mental health and rehabilitation counseling, career/vocational counseling,
forensic counseling, and marriage and family therapy. The course will provide an overview
and summarize the historical and philosophical backgrounds of these human
service/counseling professions and will highlight the nature of work, working conditions,
training and academic qualifications needed to enter the field and/or related occupations.

25

Revised 02/01/2012
See Appendix A – Table 4
B. Use Table 2 in Appendix A to display the costs and associated funding resources for
existing and anticipated ranked faculty (as identified in Table 2 in Appendix A). Costs
for visiting and adjunct faculty should be included in the category of Other Personnel
Services (OPS). Provide a narrative summarizing projected costs and funding sources.
The B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare will be implemented with existing resources. The program
will be offered by faculty in two departments affiliated with the Florida Mental Health
Institute. Historically, the faculty in these two departments have fulfilled the mission of the
Florida Mental Health Institute through research, technical training, and only a modest
amount of teaching within the university setting. As the need for baccalaureate-level
specialists in behavioral healthcare became more apparent, the faculty recognized the need
to expand their teaching activities. This shift will still allow FMHI to fulfill its legislatively
mandated mission to “strengthen mental health services throughout the state” because
specialized education is among the services identified in F.S. 1004.04. Hence, the
implementation of the Behavioral Healthcare major will occur through reassignment of
some portion of faculty time to the delivery of instruction. No new resources will be
required to mount the program.
Tables 2 and 3 reflect the existing E&G resources that will be reallocated to support the
Behavioral Healthcare major. In Year One, $256,661 in faculty salaries/benefits and $36,213
in staff salaries/benefits for program director and staff time will be re-directed to the
program growing to $691,948 in faculty salaries/benefits and $40,920 in staff
salaries/benefits in Year 5 when the program is fully operational. An annual COLA has
been included of 3% per year. It should be noted that the reallocations reflected on Table 3
are reallocations within each department listed.
Table 4 provides a detailed listing of the faculty costs associated with the program. It should
be noted that most of the faculty who will teach in this program are employed on 12-month
contracts. Nineteen (n=19) faculty will teach in this program. Most of these faculty will
teach one-to-two courses per year with each course considered to be 12.5% of their assigned
faculty duties. In addition, some faculty will serve as mentors to students in the research
concentration. In Year One, when enrollment is expected to be small (n = 24), eight faculty
will teach one course each and one faculty member will teach 2 courses and serve as
Director of the program for a total .50 assignment. The combined faculty FTE of 1.48
equates to $218,209 (salaries + 27% fringe benefits). By Year 5, all 19 faculty listed will teach
one-to-two courses for the anticipated 132 students enrolled in the program. The combined
faculty FTE of 5.93 equates to $669,948 (salaries + 27% fringe benefits). The estimated cost
per student FTE is projected to be $7,403 in Year 5 and beyond (or $185 per credit hour).
It should be noted that the costs associated with the first year of the program are somewhat
misleading. Even though the number of students who formally declare the major is
anticipated to be low in Year One (n=24), enrollment in the first-year classes will be larger
because students from the Behavioral Healthcare minor will also enroll in these courses. As
more students enroll in the major, additional sections will need to be added.
C. Provide in the appendices the curriculum vitae (CV) for each existing faculty member (do
not include information for visiting or adjunct faculty).
See Appendix C
D. Provide evidence that the academic unit(s) associated with this new degree have been
productive in teaching, research, and service. Such evidence may include trends over
time for average course load, FTE productivity, student HC in major or service courses,

degrees granted, external funding attracted, as well as qualitative indicators of excellence.
The Department of Mental Health Law and Policy has a longstanding commitment to
excellence in pursuit of its legislative mission to conduct behavioral health research,
teaching, training, policy and other forms of dissemination The faculty embrace a
multidisciplinary problem-solving approach to address the complex issues associated with
behavioral health services which is accomplished through strategic partnerships with local,
state, and federal agencies to help guide teaching, research design, implementation,
dissemination, and translation to practical solutions. Among the significant faculty
accomplishments in the past year are the following:
MHLP faculty received 36 new grants and contracts during fiscal year 2010-2011
totaling$ 9.8 million dollars to support their research.
During the 2010-2011 fiscal year, MHLP faculty published 123 peer-reviewed journal
articles (over 4 per faculty member), 21 book chapters, 4 books, 51 technical reports and
other non-peer reviewed publications (nearly 2 per faculty member).
During 2010-11, MHLP faculty conducted 126 presentations at international, national,
or regional conferences (approximately 5 per faculty member), in addition to 137
presentations/trainings/technical assistance sessions for state or local agencies/or
organizations (approximately 5.25 per faculty member).
During the 2010-2011 fiscal year, MHLP faculty taught 20 undergraduate courses, 21
graduate courses and 33 directed studies, served on 25 Doctoral Dissertation
committees and 6 Master’s Thesis committees.
Three faculty members served as journal co-editors or consulting editors, and 15
faculty members served on journal editorial boards.
Highlights of selected accomplishments of MHLP faculty include:
Dr. Roger Boothroyd, Dr. Paul Stiles, and Dr. Kathy Moore (along with other
colleagues in the college) received a four-year grant to establish a Research
Experience for Undergraduates program from the National Science Foundation. A
proposal for a similar program was approved by the National Institutes of Mental
Health (NIMH) in 2012.
John Petrila, J.D., LLM., was appointed to serve as a member of the Florida Supreme
Court's Task Force on Substance Abuse and Mental Health Issues in the Court. He
was also awarded a Fulbright Lecturing/Research Award at the University of
Maastricht in the Netherlands.
Dr. Bob Constantine was appointed by Governor Crist to the Florida Correctional
Medical Authority (CMA) which serves an important oversight function to review
the quality of health care services (including mental health care) provided to
inmates in Florida correctional institutions.

Revised 02/01/2012
A recent survey of FMHI faculty identified active partnerships with 71 health and mental
health providers, 18 state agencies, and 31 county agencies that can serve as placement sites
for field experience. In addition, the Applied Behavior Analysis program has 14 established
practicum sites within the local community that are available to support the program. We
do not anticipate having to increase the number of agencies within the next five years;
however, we will need to develop Memorandum of Understandings with some of the sites
that do not currently take students for field placements but have agreed to do so when this
proposal is approved. Examples of some of the agencies with whom MHLP currently has
placement opportunities include:

213

May 2012 USF Neurosciences Collaborative Grant, Role: Principal Investigator (2 years, $100,000)
This research examines whether there are two trajectories to callous-unemotional (CU)
traits in incarcerated youth that are underpinned by distinct emotional profiles. This
study will generate basic behavioral and neuroscience findings that can be directly
translated to inform the assessment and treatment of antisocial behavior in at-risk youth.
The proposed cross-sectional study will test whether incarcerated delinquent youth high
on CU traits, but grouped into primary and secondary types according to maltreatment
history and co-occurring psychopathology, show distinct neuropsychological,
psychophysiological, and neuroendocrine profiles.
5/1/10- A Pilot Study of Subtypes of Callous-Unemotional Traits in Maltreated Youth
4/30/12 USF New Researcher Grant, Role: Principal Investigator (1 year, $10,000)
This research examines whether there are two types of callous unemotional traits in
maltreated youth, each with divergent patterns of emotional processing. Computerized
neurocognitive testing and measurement of stress hormone levels is completed with
maltreated and control children between the ages of 6 and 10. Youth with conduct
problems and CU traits show a particularly severe and persistent pattern of behavior, and
preliminary research suggests that those with a trauma history may be at greatest risk for
aggression. Findings can directly inform clinical assessment and therapeutic
interventions for youth with CU traits.
1/7/10 – Personality and Brain Responses to Visual Stimuli (PI: Christopher Patrick)
8/31/11 NIMH RC1 MH089727, Role: Principal Investigator (.10 FTE, subcontract, $247, 138)
This research is designed to improve the methods for assessing personality disorders and
impulse control problems in criminal offenders, and advance understanding of
dispositional variables that contribute to the development and maintenance of criminal
behavior. The research will increase our understanding of processes that underlie the
most common types of problems exhibited by criminal offenders, and contribute to
improved methods for assessing impulse control disorders and more effective approaches
to treating and preventing disorders of this kind.
2007- Variants of Psychopathy and Physical Health: The Role of Stress Reactivity
2009 American Psychology & Law Society Interdisciplinary Grant,
Role: Co-Principal Investigator ($5,000)
This research examines whether primary and secondary variants of psychopathy exist in a
sample of college undergraduates. This study tests whether psychopathy variants are
underpinned by distinct emotional profiles, as measured by neuroendocrine responding
during a social stress paradigm.

Dr. Thompson has initiated various academic classes taught by himself and other faculty of the Florida
Mental Health Institute. The emphasis is on exemplary clinical practices and current trends in behavioral
healthcare service delivery. The program has become an Undergraduate Minor in Behavioral Healthcare.
It also is approved as a concentration for students transferring from the local community colleges with an
A.S. degree. This academic program allows students in the human services to complete their B.S.
degree.
In addition to direct teaching, web-based training modules are now offered for distant learning. Dr.
Thompson has developed curricula, instructional design, and supervised the programming of these online
training opportunities. He has authored the following modules: Global Assessment of Functioning,
Clinical Documentation, the Baker Act (Florida’s commitment laws), General Assessment, Crisis
Counseling and Risk Assessment. Under Dr. Thompson’s direction nine online modules are now
available on Co-occurring disorders.
Dr. Thompson speaks at many national and international conferences on workforce development in
behavioral healthcare and criminal justice. He recognizes and promotes not only the traditional disciplines
and their professional development but the importance of peer and paraprofessional workers in the field.
Another major emphasis is on law enforcement training. Dr. Thompson served as an evaluator under a
federal court consent decree of the Los Angeles Police Department. He has consulted with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and numerous national jurisdictions
on officer training on encounters with individuals in crisis and who may be experiencing a mental illness.
Numerous training events have been held for street officers and officer-trainers in a train-the-trainer
format. Consultation is provided to communities wishing to implement a first responder system.

Professional Background prior to joining the University: As the chief executive officer for thirteen
years and clinical manager for over seven years, a comprehensive knowledge and advanced skill level
has been achieved in the delivery of a wide continuum of mental health services. These positions
required acting in the role of accountable officer on staffing and operational budgets. Grant writing was an
annual responsibility for federal grants, proposals for state and county funding and special projects.
Staff under supervision ranged from 30 to over 300. Knowledge of employment laws, affirmative action,
salary administration, fringe benefits, and personnel management was required. As an executive director
the development and management of contracts, fiscal management, and budgeting was a significant
portion of the job description. Public relations and linkage with politicians, government officials, social-
367

health delivery systems, consumers, and the community were necessary. An executive director of
community programs is also responsible for the planning, managing, and evaluating of all clinical services.

agencies.
2 years post-doctorate experience. Supervisor: Lawrence Barker, Ph.D., Marshall University,

Clinical training and experience include:
Psychological evaluations for custody, forensic, professional impairment, school placement,
commitment, guardianship, and general mental and personality disorders. During doctoral
training as Chief Psychometrist for the university counseling center, duties included: monitoring of
university standardized testing, coordination of clinical testing ordered by the staff of the
counseling center, and the administration and interpretation of tests for psychopathology and
affective disorders. In community mental health most psychological evaluations focused on
psychopathology, commitment, and lethality.
Individual, marital, family and group therapy has been provided in a variety of settings. Major
clinical focus has been on anxiety and depressive disorders especially agoraphobia, simple
