B. Facilities and Equipment The MS in Entrepreneurship program will not require any additional facilities or space. The College is fortunate to have available space in the Newman Vertical Campus building to house Entrepreneurship faculty, student activities, and computer hardware. Currently, all Entrepreneurship faculty members are housed in the Management Department. The Office of the Department of Management and their seminar room (which can also serve as a classroom) are also located in the existing Newman Vertical Campus building. Presently, there is enough computer equipment for current and future faculty offices to support the proposed MS in Entrepreneurship. C. Library and Instructional Materials The Newman Library and the Baruch Computing and Technology Center are both committed to maintaining a stateof-the-art library and computer technology facility to support this program. Over the last decade, the library has augmented its collection of print and electronic resources in the interdisciplinary field of Entrepreneurship to support the instructional and research needs of students and faculty. In addition, the Computing and Technology Center has worked with the Zicklin School of Business and the Lawrence N. Field Programs in Entrepreneurship to implement the most current hardware (i.e. server) and software needed by students and faculty for accessing, analyzing, gathering and synthesizing information and other data for research purposes. With continued financial support from the college, the library and computing technology facility will be able to ensure library and computing resources remain current and comparable to other peer institutions in the field. D. Budget Because we have existing faculty lines within the Department of Management, the initial staffing of the courses in the MS in Entrepreneurship program will be handled, for the most part, within the teaching capacity fulfilled by the current existing faculty lines. However, we may need to utilize several very capable adjunct faculty candidates with advanced degrees who can teach some of the Entrepreneurship courses. Thus, the courses within this program will be staffed partly by regular faculty members and partly by distinguished lecturers and adjunct faculty members. Over the next four years, it is expected that new staffing will be funded by the anticipated growth in enrollment revenues as well as existing and earmarked endowments made to the Entrepreneurship program at Baruch College. In addition, the recent Field gift will allow the recruitment of three tenure-track faculty members within the next three years. At the outset, existing faculty and staff in the Department of Management will provide administrative support including academic advice, career advice, and guidance to students. Lawrence and Eris Field can be expected to support future growth of the Entrepreneurship programs. Their most recent gift to Entrepreneurship at Baruch was one of $10 million. 20
Below, Tables 14, 15, and 16 outline the projected number of courses to be offered, the projected enrollment, and the projected expenditures and revenues for the program from Fall 2009 through Spring 2014. It is estimated that within this period, the tuition revenue from the MS in Entrepreneurship program will substantially exceed direct program costs. As reported in the previous STUDENTS section, we project that there will be 40 students in the 2009-10 year, 60 students in the 2010-11 year, 80 students in the 2011-2012 year, and 100 students thereafter (Table 1). Based on these enrollment estimates, we project net revenues of $137,195 in the 2009-10 academic year. This number can be expected to grow to $555,017 by the 2013-14 academic-year (Table 16, Column 7). To calculate the net revenue numbers, we first projected the number of courses offered each semester. The number of courses offered should be sufficient to allow students to satisfy the program requirements and graduate within one year if they desire to do so. Information on the projected number of courses offered is provided in Table 14. Table 14: Projected Number of Courses Offered, Fall 2009 to Spring 2014 Academic Year (1) Fall Semester (2) Spring Semester (3) Total Number of Courses per Year (4) Number of Required Courses per Year (5) * Number of Elective Courses per Year (6) ** 2009-10 7 8 15 5 10 2010-11 10 10 20 10 10 2011-12 13 14 27 15 12 2012-13 15 15 30 15 15 2013-14 15 15 30 15 15 * derived from the 5 required courses for the MS degree program. ** derived from the 13 elective courses for the MS degree program. It is shown in Table 14 that students should be able to graduate in one year if they desire (since all the 18 courses are offered from the first academic year). We will increase the number of courses offered based on the projected increase in student populations (see STUDENT section, Table 1 for the projection of student population). The total number of courses offered in each year is reported in the fourth column of Table 14. Special attention is paid to the number of required courses offered each semester to make sure that all courses are available to students throughout the year. The fifth and sixth columns report the number of required courses and the number of electives offered during the five-year period. The detailed program schedules (which list the titles of the courses offered in each semester) for the first four years are reported in Table D-1 of Appendix D. Since each student enrolled in the MS degree in Entrepreneurship will have to take ten courses to satisfy the program requirements, we can calculate the total demand for courses by these students. Table 15 estimates the total number of students that may take Entrepreneurship courses. 21
