Mission of the Coordinating Board
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s mission is to work with the
Legislature, Governor, governing boards, higher education institutions and other
entities to help Texas meet the goals of the state’s higher education plan,
Closing the Gaps by 2015, and thereby provide the people of Texas the widest
access to higher education of the highest quality in the most efficient manner.
Philosophy of the Coordinating Board
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board will promote access to quality
higher education across the state with the conviction that access without quality
is mediocrity and that quality without access is unacceptable. The Board will be
open, ethical, responsive, and committed to public service. The Board will
approach its work with a sense of purpose and responsibility to the people of
Texas and is committed to the best use of public monies. The Coordinating
Board will engage in actions that add value to Texas and to higher education.
The agency will avoid efforts that do not add value or that are duplicated by
other entities.
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national
origin, gender, religion, age or disability in employment or the provision of services.

Executive Summary
During the 82nd Texas Legislature, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board was
directed to undertake a study on the cost and effectiveness of online education as
described in Section 57 of the General Appropriations Act. In April 2012, the
Coordinating Board distributed to all public institutions of higher education a survey
instrument for the reporting of the projected costs of placing each institution’s four most
popular degree programs online. This survey instrument provided institutions with the
general accounting categories used by the National Association of College and University
Business Officers (NACUBO) and suggested expenses for each category. Institutions
were directed to use this rubric, with the addition of other expense areas as needed, to
report projected costs. Each institution was allowed to determine the best methodology
for developing those cost projections based upon its current human and technical
infrastructure. The decision to not provide institutions with a uniform cost methodology
reflects a national lack of a uniform distance education cost methodology as well as the
diverse accounting practices across the state.
An analysis of the resulting data indicates a significant diversity in current distance
education costs, projected costs, and the effectiveness (as defined by grade point
average and graduation rate) of existing distance education programs. Those institutions
that already have invested in the development of larger distance education programs
will be better situated to realize cost effectiveness from their infrastructure and
personnel investments than those schools that have not made such investments.
Additionally, significant differences in the average projected costs of programs were
identified by degree program level as well as by two-digit CIP code. Associate degree
programs were, on average, less expensive to develop and offer online than other
programs. Sixty-five percent of the 195 associate degrees were identified as being
effective online program offerings in contrast to 58 percent of the 117 baccalaureate
degrees, 87 percent of master’s degrees, 34 percent of doctoral degrees, and 0 percent
of professional practice degrees. Additionally, there was some institutional agreement in
projections of whether or not an existing face-to-face program could be offered
effectively online. Unsurprisingly, those programs that involve considerable practical
skills, whether they are highly technical associate degrees or specialized medical and
graduate degrees, were deemed to be ineffective online programs.
Coordinating Board staff encountered some significant difficulties in collecting uniform
cost information from institutions. In part, this effort was complicated by the
nonexistence of a uniform distance education NACUBO accounting method. For
example, as more face-to-face courses begin to incorporate aspects of electronic
delivery such as use of an institution’s learning management system, online academic
support and tutorial services, and the use of instructional designers to name a few, it is
becoming increasingly difficult for institutions to determine how to assign the cost of
these resources. In other words, should the costs associated with the learning
management system be considered an online education cost or a general academic
cost?
The ability to collect uniform data and cost models was further complicated by the
extent to which institutions have the human resources and ability to track and
disaggregate online education costs. Smaller institutions, especially those that do not
have large instructional technology, institutional research, or business offices, may not
1
have the same ability to collect and analyze cost data as larger institutions with
dedicated personnel. The following analysis was conducted using the self-reported
information provided by institutions. As a result of the variety of accounting systems,
cost methodologies, and institutional research capabilities, the collected data are not
equivalent across institutions. Thus, the cost analysis included below should only be
considered as initial and preliminary observations. If additional analysis of cost is
undertaken, the first step will need to be the development of both a common
methodology and accounting structure that all institutions, regardless of size and
resources, can apply.
After an analysis of the data provided by institutions, the Coordinating Board makes
several recommendations regarding the future of online education at Texas public
institutions.

The Coordinating Board should work with a committee of representatives from
Texas public institutions to develop a cost methodology and tool that can be
used for uniform data collection regarding online education costs. This cost
methodology should, as much as possible, capture both direct costs such as
instructional design and indirect costs such as facilities maintenance.
Institutions should be encouraged to create and join purchasing consortia,
especially regarding large-scale purchases such as Learning Management
Systems, Student Information Management Systems, and online academic
support services.
Public institutions of higher education in Texas should be encouraged to explore
the development of a distributed delivery system that would allow students at
participating institutions to enroll in online courses at any of the consortia
schools without the need for multiple admissions or other fees.
The Coordinating Board, working with the Learning Technology Advisory
Committee and other institutional representatives, should develop a definition of
effective online education and a uniform standard by which it can be assessed.
In an effort to improve student success, institutions which are not able to
effectively offer face-to-face degree programs on their home campuses, as
determined by student outcomes, should not be allowed to deliver those
programs via online learning. Additionally, institutions wishing to add future
online programs must show that any online programs already being offered have
met minimum success and effectiveness as determined by the Coordinating
Board staff with input from the Learning Technology Advisory Committee.
Using the information collected as part of the Texas Higher Education Regional
Plan, the Coordinating Board should review all current online programs to
determine if they are in high need fields. Further development of additional
programs in these fields should not take place until statewide need for the
programs has been ascertained and a determination regarding online degree
plan growth has been implemented.
Introduction
Legislative Direction
Section 57 of the General Appropriations Act, House Bill 1, of the 82nd Texas Legislature
directs the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to undertake a study on the cost
and effectiveness of online education. This section states:
(a) Using funds appropriated by this Act, not later than August 1, 2012, each
public institution of higher education receiving appropriations under this Act shall
submit to the Higher Education Coordinating Board a study of the costs making
available online four of the institution's most popular degree plans, as
determined by the institution. Each institution's reported cost study must include
the methodology used for the cost study and an explanation for each expense
listed in the study.
(b) The coordinating board shall use new and existing data, including
performance measures, ongoing research studies, and survey data, to evaluate
probable student outcomes for online degree plans identified by the institutions.
The coordinating board shall:
(1) analyze and compare all reported cost studies under this section and
corresponding student outcomes to determine the most efficient and effective of
the proposed online degree plans among those institutions generally; and
(2) notify each institution of its conclusions.
Definitions
One of the challenges of any discussion of online and distance education is common
definitions. For the purposes of this report, the following definitions will be used.
1) Distance education: Between 1999 and 2010, distance education, as defined for
reporting purposes on the CBM 004 report, was any course in which more than
50 percent of the instruction took place via one of four distance education
modalities.
a. Electronic to individuals: Internet based instruction to individuals that is
delivered synchronously or asynchronously. This is commonly referred to
as online education.
b. Electronic to groups: Instruction in which the instructor is located in a
different location than the class of students. In this modality, instruction
is delivered synchronously, often through video conferencing or iTV.
c. Off-campus face to face: Instruction in which the instructor and the
students are located in the same off-campus location.
d. Other media: instructional TV, etc.
3
Current Coordinating Board rules define distance education as “the formal
educational process that occurs when students and instructors are not in the
same physical setting for the majority (more than 50 percent) of instruction.”1
2) Online education: Between 1999 and 2010, online education was referred to as
electronic to individuals modality. Starting in fall 2010, upon recommendations
from the Distance Education Advisory Committee, Chapter 4, Subchapters P and
Q of Coordinating Board rules were changed to include the new category of fully
distance education course. A fully distance education course is analogous to an
online course and is defined as “a course which may have mandatory face-toface sessions totaling no more than 15 percent of the instructional time.
Examples of face-to-face sessions include orientation, laboratory, exam review,
or an in-person test.”2 This definition was adopted to take into account courses
that might require a small number of physical orientation sessions and/or
proctored exams.
3) Hybrid/blended education: At the same time that the definition of fully distance
education course was added, a second category of distance education course,
hybrid/blended was also added. This type of course is “a course in which a
majority (more than 50 percent but less than 85 percent) of the planned
instruction occurs when the students and instructor(s) are not in the same
place.”3
Rise of Distance Education
Distance education, especially online education, has increased significantly in both Texas
and the United States. Between fall 1999 and fall 2011, the number of semester credit
hours delivered through online or hybrid courses increased from a mere .70 percent of
the total semester credit hours delivered to 12.46 percent, an increase of over 1.4
million SCHs. Consistently, the largest producer of those online and hybrid semester
credit hours have been community and technical colleges. In fall 1999, community and
technical colleges offered 47,335 SCH as online or hybrid courses (1.23 percent of their
overall credit hour offerings) compared to 888,115 SCH (14.64 percent) in fall 2011.
Universities also experienced significant growth in online education during this period. In
fall 1999, universities offered 11,457 SCH as online or hybrid courses (.25 percent of
their overall credit hours offerings) compared to 590,221 SCH (10.18 percent) in fall
2011.4
The Texas increase in online education parallels the national growth of online education.
Since 2002, the Sloan-C Consortium has provided data on the growth of online
education. In fall 2002, 1,602,970 students (9.6 percent of the total student population)

2 Chapter 4, Subchapter P, Rule 4.257 (9)(a).
3 Chapter 4, Subchapter P, Rule 4.257 (9)(b).
4 Appendix I includes online and hybrid education data for fall 1999 through fall 2011. To account for the change in
reporting definitions starting fall 2010, SCH reported as online were used for fall 1999 through fall 2009, and online and
hybrid SCH were used for fall 2010 and fall 2011.
4
took at least one online course. By fall 2010, that number had increased to 6,142,280
students (31.3 percent of the total student population). As Appendix II indicates,
although the annual growth rate is currently 10.1 percent, this is a reduction from fall
2009. Nevertheless, the growth rate of online education has significantly outpaced that
of higher education in general; between fall 2002 and fall 2010, the higher education
student body grew by approximately 3 million students, an annual rate of slightly more
than 2 percent.5
This increase in the amount of online students also reflects a change in the importance
of online learning. The same study also reported that in fall 2011, 65.5 percent of the
administrators surveyed reported that they believed online education to be critical to the
long-term strategy of their institution compared to only 48.8 percent in fall 2002.6
Tellingly, this also corresponds to an increase in the acceptance of the value and
legitimacy of online education. In fall 2004, 30.4 percent of surveyed administrators
reported that their faculty accepted the value and legitimacy of online education while
10.3 percent reported that their faculty did not accept the value and legitimacy of online
education (59.3 percent had a neutral response). By fall 2011, these percentages were
revised: 32 percent of surveyed administrators reported that their faculty accepted the
value and legitimacy of online education and only 11.4 percent reporting that their
faculty did not accept the value and legitimacy of online education.7
National Data on Effectiveness and Cost of Online Education
In order to better understand the Texas data, consideration of the national data will
provide context.
Effectiveness of Online Education
Perhaps the most comprehensive discussion of the effectiveness of distance education
can be found in the United States Department of Education 2010 study Evaluation of
Evidence-Based Practices in Online Learning: A Meta-Analysis and Review of Online
Learning Studies.8 Based upon a comprehensive search of the literature on the
effectiveness of distance education written between 1996 and July 2008, Means, et. al.
concluded that students in online learning performed modestly better than those in faceto-face courses. Furthermore, when online learning was disaggregated to include
completely online learning versus hybrid/blended learning, there was no appreciable
difference in the learning between those students enrolled in completely online courses
or completely face-to-face courses. There was, however, a statistically significant
difference (+.35 versus +.05) in the learning of students enrolled in hybrid/blended
courses versus those students in fully face-to-face courses.9 The literature review is

quick to caution that the cause for this difference is not entirely clear and might be
related to other resources that are provided to students beyond the delivery modality.10
Means, et. al. also concluded that although there was virtually no literature that
examined the effectiveness of online education in K-12 education, there were ample
studies that indicated that online education was effective in post-secondary education.11
Additionally, various characteristics of effective online education were also determined.
These included the following findings.

The type of instructional leadership made a difference, since students learned
best in classrooms that were instructor led rather than collaborative or
independent arrangements.12

The effectiveness of online learning was enhanced when learners were able to
control the media and information being presented and reflect upon it.13

The use of computer-based instruction to individualize instruction had a positive
impact on learners.14

Any conclusions regarding the effectiveness of mobile and alternative delivery
platforms is premature.15
It should be noted, however, that while Means, et. al. indicate that the effectiveness of
the hybrid/blended modality is clear in post-secondary education, the literature on the
characteristics of an effective delivery of a hybrid/blended course is still scant.
Cost of Online Education
While there is ample literature to point to the success of hybrid/blended education in
postsecondary education, there is comparatively little literature on the cost of
postsecondary online education. Several issues make analysis of such costs difficult,
and, as they also impact the Texas data collected for this report, a discussion of these
issues is worthwhile. In his 2009 dissertation, Robert Robinson stated, “There is some
evidence to indicate that online delivery increases costs (Morgan, 2000; Rumble, 2004;
Schiffman, 2005), while other reports indicate a reduction in delivery costs as compared
to more traditional methods (Meyer, 2006; Robinson, 2005).”16 Robinson goes on to
argue that there are indirect factors such as the centralization of distance education
services and other administrative functions as well as the presence of student support
services that can impact the cost of developing and delivering online education. Those
institutions that already possess these structures will be better situated to develop and

offer online courses and programs than those institutions that do not have an adequate
infrastructure in place. Furthermore, for these institutions, “the reduction in use of the
physical plant due to online activities should equate to a reduction in direct delivery
costs.”17 When such costs are taken into consideration, as well as the costs of technical
and skilled personnel, the development of online courses will be higher than that of
face-to-face courses.18 Robertson continues with the argument that the cost efficiency of
online education, the ratio of inputs to outputs, should become apparent once the
delivery costs of courses is taken into consideration.19 Robinson concludes his
dissertation with an analysis of the beliefs of chief business officers and chief academic
officers at a sample of public Texas universities. Robinson found that chief business
officers believed that online education was most likely cheaper than face-to-face
instruction because of the facility costs of face-to-face courses. Chief academic officers
were less likely to take into consideration potential facility costs and savings and instead
focused on the development costs of online education; thus, they perceived online
education to be more expensive than face-to-face instruction.20 Perhaps most interesting
was Robinson’s discovery that both groups of administrators admitted that the cost of
offering online or face-to-face courses was one of the least important factors in
determining which type of courses to offer.21
Robinson’s findings regarding the costs of online education are echoed, although in
greater detail, in Jason Caudill’s 2009 dissertation A Financial Model for the Launch and
Operation of an Online Degree Program by a Public Higher Education System.22 Caudill’s
analysis of the cost of online postsecondary education in Tennessee showed that over
the seven-year study, instructional costs (which Caudill defines as including both
personnel costs and technological delivery infrastructure costs), technical costs, and
facilities costs all decreased, while administration, student support, and administrative
overhead increased.23 Citing Crawford and Rudy (2003),24 Elloumi (2004),25 and Whalen
and Wright (1999),26 Caudill points out that online education costs may be higher
because staff costs for the development of such courses are significantly higher due to
heavy technology investments and technical staff requirements. Echoing Whalen and
Wright, Caudill also asserts that the most significant cost factor in online education is the
volume of multimedia, such as animation, video, or audio clips, that is used, as it can
change the total cost more than other factors. Of particular note for this study are
Caudill’s findings that instructional cost as a percentage of total costs increases

23 Ibid, p. 68. Of significance was the discovery that although instructional costs decreased over the seven years studied,
there was a sharp increase in those costs during year 6 as the program underwent a significant shift in the delivery
technologies. He posits that this indicates that instructional technology costs are not static and that high periodic costs
must be accounted for in any budget.

significantly, from 24.6 percent of total cost to 58.19 percent, between years one and
seven as do administrative costs, from 5.39 percent to 16.17 percent. These findings
indicate that as the number of online learners increases, so do certain cost categories.
For some of these costs, such as instruction, “margins may remain flat across different
enrollment levels with the largest expenses moving in parallel with revenues generated
from credits delivered.”27 As an aside, it should be of no surprise that Caudill found that
the combined percentage of total cost of instruction and student support is greater than
all other costs combined. This finding is in line with what the National Association of
College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) found in its 2002 study of general
instruction at American colleges and universities. Not only did NACUBO find that the
combined costs of instruction and student services accounted for roughly 85 percent of
the cost of education at public community colleges and four-year universities, but that
within this category the “largest single expenditure in most cases is for direct
instructional expenses, which for many institutions is just the cost of faculty salaries and
related benefits.”28
The most recent, and most analogous to Texas, report on the cost of online education
was published by the Program Evaluation Division of the North Carolina General
Assembly in April 2010.29 After examining a representative sample of online and face-toface courses from 15 of the 16 University of North Carolina system institutions, the
group concluded that “developing distance education courses costs more overall than
developing on-campus courses” because more infrastructure and staff support are
necessary.30 As detailed in Figure 1 below, there was a $284 difference in the mean cost
per course development between distance education courses and on-campus courses.
Of greatest significance, however, is the difference in instructor costs and instructional
support costs. It is important to note, however, that the actual costs for content
development were not included for distance education courses even though they were
included in the on-campus costs. Instructor costs in distance education courses were
primarily the cost of an instructor placing a current on-campus course online. When this

is taken into consideration, it is highly likely that the cost of the development of distance
education courses would actually be even higher than those for on-campus courses.

This same study found “On average, the cost for delivering distance education courses
did not differ significantly from the cost of delivering on-campus courses.”31 In this case,
instructional costs were almost identical between the distance-delivered course and the
on-campus course, with moderate differences in campus indirect costs and significant
differences in other costs and facility costs as indicated in Figure 2.32

upon the collected data, this was not a statistically significant difference.

It is significant to note that the instructional costs, in this case the salary and benefits
paid to the instructor, are virtually identical regardless of the delivery method. This
reflects what several national studies have shown—cost savings for online education will
not be significantly affected as long as online courses continue to replicate the same
instructional model of faculty member and students. In fact, the North Carolina data
indicate that the only area of cost savings for the delivery of distance education courses
is facility costs, which are almost half that of on-campus courses. Campus indirect costs
and other costs (which include student support services) are $578 and $1,068 more
expensive respectively in distance courses. Clearly, as long as the primary design of
online courses is to merely place the face-to-face course online with no significant
changes to delivery and instruction, online education cannot be cost effective.
Texas Data on Potentially Effective Online Degree Programs
Rider 57 directed all Texas public institutions of higher education to complete a survey
instrument developed by the Coordinating Board that is included in this report as
Appendix III. In addition to collecting the potential cost data discussed in the next
section of this report, the instrument also collected information on how institutions
determined what their four most popular degree programs are; whether or not these
programs could be effectively offered online; and the current grade point average
(GPA), graduation rate, and number of graduates for the most recent year. Since it is
impossible to determine the effectiveness of degree programs not yet offered, the
current GPA, graduation rate, and number of graduates serves as a rough potential
indicator of possible success by assuming that those face-to-face programs that
currently have low GPA and graduation rates will not be able to be successfully offered
by that institution as an online program. On the rare occasion that an institution is
already offering one of its four most popular degree programs online, institutions were
asked to also report those data as well as those for the face-to-face program offering.
10
Popular Programs
Although there were several variations on the methodologies that institutions used to
determine which four degree programs to analyze, most institutions used current
student enrollment or degree production as the criteria for determining the four most
popular degree programs. A smaller number of institutions used other criteria such as
national reputation, suitability to online delivery, growth rate, community need, gainful
employment, and semester credit hours generated. As a result, 110 programs (as
defined by their six-digit CIP codes) in 24 areas (as defined by their two-digit general
CIP codes) were chosen by the institutions. The most popular degree programs
identified were Business Administration (52.0201), followed by General Studies

Effectiveness
In an effort to determine the “probable student outcomes” and most effective potential
degree programs, the Coordinating Board requested that institutions provide current
grade point averages and graduation rates as well as self-select whether or not they
believe the identified degree programs can be offered effectively online. Table 2
indicates the percentage of possible online programs deemed to be potentially effective
by the institutions by two-digit CIP. Unsurprisingly, it becomes clear that institutions
perceive certain fields to be more conducive to online delivery. One hundred percent of
Communications, Family/Consumer Science, Library Science, and Public
Administration/Social Services were predicted to be effective online programs while no
Personal & Culinary Services, Mechanical & Repair Technology, or Visual & Performing
Arts programs were predicted to be effective online programs.

Based upon the survey responses, it also became clear that in addition to some fields
being perceived as more conducive to online education, there are also degree levels that
are perceived as being more conducive to online education. Sixty-five percent of the
195 associate degrees were identified as being effective online program offerings in
contrast to 58 percent of the 117 baccalaureate degrees, 87 percent of master’s
degrees, 34 percent of doctoral degrees, and 0 percent of professional practice degrees.
Since effectiveness cannot be determined for programs that are not yet being taught
online, institutions were required to provide grade point averages and graduation rates
for their selected programs. This information for those programs currently being offered
face-to-face has been aggregated in Table 3 for the nine most popular selected
programs. Table 4 provides similar information for the current online offerings of the
nine most popular selected programs.

Based upon the reported student success measures such as GPA, graduation rate, and
current graduation numbers, it is evident that some institutions are currently more
successful in offering the proposed programs and degrees than others.35 Given the
complexities of placing degree programs online, it stands to reason that any further
development of new programs or significant expansions of existing programs should
take into consideration the institution’s current graduation rate and average grade point.
Complete institutional success data for all selected programs can be found in Appendix
VI.

metric, that metric is recorded in this table as the average metric. Blank cells indicate that data were not reported for
those variables.
35 One should note that just because an institution is able to successfully offer a face-to-face degree program, there is no
guarantee that institution would be able to develop and offer a similarly successful online degree program. Not only are
there different technological and infrastructure needs associated with online education, but many online programs require
different instructional methods, academic support services, and faculty development and support services than what an
institution might have in place to successfully run a face-to-face degree program.

Perhaps the greatest challenge in determining current and estimated costs of online
education is the lack of a uniform cost methodology and costing categories. Currently,
all Texas institutions conform to the accounting categories developed by the National
Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO). These categories
were developed prior to the widespread explosion of online learning and were not
developed to take into account the diverse costs associated with online education.
Furthermore, as more face-to-face courses begin to incorporate aspects of electronic
delivery such as use of an institution’s learning management system, online academic
support and tutorial services, and instructional designers to name a few, it is becoming
increasingly difficult for institutions to determine how to assign the cost of these
resources. In other words, should the costs associated with the learning management
system be considered an online education cost or a general academic cost? Would the
expansion of online programs change the current learning management system costs or
would they remain static and, therefore, lack of capacity use constitute an opportunity
cost?
The ability to collect uniform data and cost models was further complicated by the
extent to which institutions have the human resources and ability to track and
disaggregate online education costs. Smaller institutions, especially those that do not
have large instructional technology, institutional research, or business offices may not
have the same ability to collect and analyze cost data as larger institutions with
dedicated personnel. The following analysis was conducted using the self-reported
information provided by institutions. As a result of this variety of accounting systems,
cost methodology development, and institutional research capabilities, the collected data
are not equivalent across institutions. Thus, the cost analysis included below should only
be considered as initial and preliminary observations. If additional analysis of cost is
undertaken, the first step will need to be the development of both a common
methodology and accounting structure that all institutions, regardless of size and
resources, can apply.
Estimated Costs of Popular Online Degrees
Each institution was asked to complete a survey instrument that asked them to provide
the following financial information for the common NACUBO categories. A copy of the
survey instrument is included as Appendix III. Institutions were provided suggested
subcategory expenses but also allowed to add additional areas as necessary. Those
subcategory expenses are included below. No institution reported expenses for every
subcategory. A copy of the projected expenses can be found in Appendices VIII and X.

Although institutions were asked to provide costs for the above NACUBO categories,
each institution had latitude in determining how the projected costs were calculated. An
analysis of the methodologies indicated several broad trends in determining costs that
could be a starting point for any future development of a standardized distance
education cost methodology. One methodology used by a number of institutions was to
calculate the percentage of online semester credit hours for Fiscal Year 2011 and then
multiply that percentage by either the institution’s cost per contact hour as determined
by their Report of Fundable Operating Expenses or Schedule B Audit for Instruction,
Academic Support, Institutional Support, and Student Services. Although this calculation
may provide a rough estimate, it does not necessarily take into consideration that the
cost of the development and delivery of online courses and programs may differ
considerably from that of face-to-face courses. Many institutions with robust online
education programs took a different approach to developing a cost methodology. In
these cases, the institution calculated the current cost of developing and offering online
courses, extrapolated the number of courses necessary for delivering the program, and
adjusted those figures for projected annual inflation and growth.36
An analysis of the methodologies and reported costs also showed significant variation in
the reported costs of the various NACUBO categories, with the category showing the
most significant variation being that of Instruction. The wide range in costs in this
category can be attributed to the lack of consistent institutional policies for faculty
compensation for the development and teaching of online courses. Whereas some
institutions consider the development and teaching of online courses to be a part of the
regular faculty load, most institutions provide some sort of stipend and/or release time
36 These inflation and growth rates varied from 3 to 10 percent.
17
for online course development. These stipends ranged from $500 to $5,000.
Additionally, some institutions awarded between one to two classes of release time to
faculty developing and teaching an online course for the first time. In those situations,
adjunct costs were also included in the Instruction category. Another category where
institutional costs varied widely is that of Academic Support. In this case, those
discrepancies can, for the most part, be attributed to differences in instructional
technology and professional development infrastructures in place. For those institutions
that have already developed robust online and hybrid course programs, instructional
technologists, quality control programs, and faculty professional development are largely
in place. Similarly, these institutions also exhibited lower projected costs in Institutional
Services and Student Services because of the ability to leverage existing infrastructure,
personnel, and platforms, making the ability to serve additional students an add-on cost
rather than an entirely new development cost. Thus, these institutions are able to
leverage existing resources in the development of additional programs and, according to
the metrics identified in Robinson’s dissertation, are poised to be more cost effective.37
Institutions were asked to provide estimates for the five-year costs of developing the
identified online programs, whether deemed effective or not. For those institutions that
included cost estimates these ranged from a five-year total of $7,938 for an associate’s
degree in Liberal Arts at Dallas County Community College District to a five-year total of
$57,826,387 for a baccalaureate degree in Political Science at The University of Texas at
Austin.38 Table 5 provides estimated total five-year costs for the 10 most expensive
programs, while Table 6 provides estimated total five-year costs for the 10 least

38 A detailed explanation of The University of Texas at Austin’s cost methodology is included in Appendix VII. In essence,
however, the projected high costs of The University of Texas at Austin is at least partially due to the need to develop the
programs, including the general education core curriculum, from scratch since The University of Texas at Austin currently
does not report the offering of any online or hybrid semester credit hours to the Coordinating Board.

Generally speaking, the estimated costs of associate degrees were lower than that of
other degrees, while Liberal Arts and General Studies were disproportionately
represented in the list of least expensive programs. The price range between the least
expensive and most expensive associate degrees was $7,938 at Dallas County
Community College District for an associate degree in Liberal Arts and $43,352,054 at
Alamo Colleges for an associate degree in Liberal Arts, resulting in a difference of over
$43.3 million. An even greater price range for baccalaureate degrees also exists. The
least expensive baccalaureate degree was produced by Brazosport College in Business
Administration for an anticipated cost of $207,056, while the most expensive degree was
reported by The University of Texas at Austin in Political Science for an anticipated cost
of $57,352,054,40 resulting in a difference of over $57.1 million. Master’s degrees
showed a large, though much smaller, range. The least expensive master’s degree was
produced at The University of Texas Southwest Medical Center in Physician Assistants
for an anticipated cost of $43,947, while the most expensive degree was reported by
Texas Woman’s University in Business Administration for an anticipated cost of
$19,608,960, resulting in a difference of over $19.5 million.41
Some degree programs appear to be better suited for lower cost distance education
solutions, while others appeared to be potentially cost prohibited. Table 7 shows the
average cost for each two-digit CIP field. As one can see from this table, the lowest
average belonged to Legal Professions and Studies (although this is only the average of
two programs), while the highest average belonged to the Social Sciences. English was
excluded from this study as there was only one program reported.

In addition to providing projected five-year total costs for the most popular degree
programs, institutions were also requested to provide their Learning Management
System (LMS) costs. Although an institution’s LMS is used for more than online courses,
it can represent a substantial cost. Currently, there are nine LMS companies with
products at Texas public higher education institutions: Blackboard (63 institutions),
Moodle (6 institutions), Blackboard/Angel (6 institutions), e-College (1 institution),
Desire to Learn (4 institutions), Saki (3 institutions), Instructure (1 institution), Three
Rivers/CAMS (1 institution), and Remoter Learner/Moodle (3 institutions). The average
monthly cost of all reported Learning Management Systems is $9,499, with a median
monthly cost of $5,747. As is clear from Table 8, the most expensive average and
median monthly costs are associated with Blackboard and the least expensive are
associated with Remote/Learner.

Appendix IX includes a list of all reported Learning Management System costs. Not only
do the costs of the different LMS differ widely, but even the same LMS cost within the
same community college and university systems vary widely. For example, 56
institutions use Blackboard but the reported monthly cost varies from a low of $555 per
month at Odessa College to a high of $24,700 per month at The University of Texas at
San Antonio. Open source and semi-open source platforms such as Moodle and Saki are
also in use at a handful of Texas institutions; however, it is clear from the reported costs
that open source platforms are still an expensive option. For example, of the five Moodle
users, the lowest monthly cost is $483 and the highest monthly cost is $36,471 at
Houston Community College.42
Conclusion
Although there is currently a general consensus in the literature on the effectiveness of
online learning in postsecondary education, there are a number of issues relating to
online education that remain unknown. Perhaps one of the biggest of these categories
pertains to the cost of both developing and offering online education. This national lack
of knowledge is mirrored by a lack of state data. Although the Rider 57 survey returned
by Texas public institutions has provided a start towards determining a consistent
methodology that can be used by institutions to calculate the cost of existing and
proposed online programs, it will be difficult to find a methodology that will provide a
level of standardization of data categories while at the same time being flexible to take
into account the diversity of institutional missions, sizes, and resources.
The Coordinating Board recommends that any future studies or discussions regarding
online education in Texas should include the recommendations.


The Coordinating Board should work with a committee of representatives from
Texas public institutions to develop a cost methodology and tool that can be
used for uniform data collection regarding online education costs. This cost
methodology should, as much as possible, capture both direct costs such as
instructional design and indirect costs such as facilities maintenance.
Institutions should be encouraged to create and join purchasing consortia,
especially regarding large-scale purchases such as Learning Management
Systems, Student Information Management Systems, and online academic
support services. Such consortia could not only help smaller institutions to realize
the reduction in cost that generally comes with economies of scale, but they
could also be used to share human resources and capital amongst those
42 The likely implementation of these systems is most likely higher than the monthly costs reported. The reported data
are licensing fees only and do not include on-campus technical support services. Costs were not provided to the
Coordinating Board as per user license fees; therefore, it is appropriate to expect that larger institutions will have larger
LMS costs.

institutions who could otherwise not afford a comprehensive instructional
technology and design staff.
All public institutions of higher education in Texas should be encouraged to
explore the development of a distributed delivery system that would allow
students at participating institutions to enroll in online courses at any of the
consortia schools without the need for multiple admissions or other fees. The
Virtual College of Texas provides a starting place for examining how such an
arrangement might look. At this time the state’s two largest university systems,
The University of Texas System and the Texas A&M University System have
conducted preliminary experiments and discussions on how such arrangements
might work.
The Coordinating Board, working with the Learning Technology Advisory
Committee and other institutional representatives, should develop a definition of
effective online education and a uniform standard by which it can be assessed.
In an effort to improve student success, institutions which are not able to
effectively offer face-to-face degree programs on their home campuses should
not be allowed to deliver those programs via online learning. One possible way to
measure program effectiveness would be to use the average state GPA and
graduation rate for a six-digit CIP code and program level as the minimum
metric. The development of additional metrics could be adapted from the work
on program effectiveness standards currently being undertaken by the
Coordinating Board’s Workforce, Academic Affairs, and Research Division.
Additionally, institutions wishing to add future online programs must show that
any online programs already being offered have met minimum success and
effectiveness as determined by the Learning Technology Advisory Committee.
This restriction should ensure that only those institutions that have shown the
ability to successfully offer a program in a descriptive and have experience with
online education would be in the position to do so.
Using the information collected as part of the Texas Higher Education Regional
Plan, the Coordinating Board should review all current online programs to
determine if they are in high need fields. Further development of additional
programs in these fields should not take place until statewide need for the
programs has been ascertained and a determination regarding online degree
plan growth has been implemented. This could mean that certain institutions
with well-developed online education programs could become small monopolies
regarding certain fields. Such actions would constitute a change in Coordinating
Board policy. Currently, with the exception of doctoral and special professional
programs, the Coordinating Board does not restrict the development of new
online and hybrid/blended programs (assuming that an institution is currently
offering a face-to-face version of the program). To ensure that there is no
unnecessary duplication in the development of high-cost, online degree
programs that may exist elsewhere and to better utilize those existing programs
at capacity, regulations governing the development of new online degree
programs should be put in place after consultation with a committee of
institutional representatives.

Instructions
General Appropriations Act, HB1, 82nd Texas Legislature, Section 57 (page III-247)
reads:
(a)Using funds appropriated by this Act, not later than August 1, 2012, each public
institution of higher education receiving appropriations under this Act shall submit to
the Higher Education Coordinating Board a study of the costs making available
online four of the institution's most popular degree plans, as determined by the
institution. Each institution's reported cost study must include the methodology used
for the cost study and an explanation for each expense listed in the study.
(b) The coordinating board shall use new and existing data, including performance
measures, ongoing research studies, and survey data, to evaluate probable student
outcomes for online degree plans identified by the institutions. The coordinating
board shall:
(1) analyze and compare all reported cost studies under this section and
corresponding student outcomes to determine the most efficient and
effective of the proposed online degree plans among those
institutions generally; and
(2) notify each institution of its conclusions.
This portion of the General Appropriations Act orders the Coordinating Board to report
on the efficiency and effectiveness of potential online degree programs. THECB staff is

Courses in the major and minor over the past several years
have been developed for an online format. The Master of
Public Administration degree is potentially attractive to
students beyond our immediate service area; launching a
new dual MPA/MPH degree online with UTSPH requires
online development. This program has been developed
due to recent legislative mandates for maximum number
of hours in bachelor's degree programs and to help our
students who are already in the field complete their
degree in a timely fashion. The selection criteria includes
graduates of an ADN program, and licensed RNs.
The determination of the most popular degree programs is

Rationale for NonEffectiveness
Based on discussion with
local lawyers and law offices,
there seems to be consensus
that they do not want to hire
students who have acquired
their paralegal degree
exclusively from on-line
instruction. There seems to
be a consistent result
according to these lawyers
that students from on-line
programs are far behind
students from programs that
required face-to-face
instruction.
The University of Texas at
Austin (UT) has determined
that this degree program
cannot be effectively
delivered in a fully online
format.
UT takes pride in the quality
and broad spectrum of
topics and disciplines by
which students can fulfill
their lower division and core
course requirements and the
flexibility they have in
tailoring course selection to
meet their needs and
interests. Students enrolled
in an online version of this
program would not have
access to the full array of
course offerings but rather,
in order to optimize
implementation costs, a
vastly smaller and
necessarily prescriptive
subset of course options,
resulting in a degree
program that is
extraordinarily restrictive
and which does not offer the
opportunities for quality
educational experiences
made available to our
traditional student
population. The quality of
the degree program itself
would be degraded into a
very limited educational
experience that does not
reflect the excellence,
opportunities, and access to
specialized coursework that
are hallmarks of our tier 1
research university.
More importantly, UT is
committed to a face-to-face
learning experience which
plays a significant role in
student success and the
academic value added by a
university education; the
University, therefore, does
not intend to move to a
primarily online-only set of
courses. Instead, the
university advocates the
implementation of multiple,
complimentary, innovative
course delivery methods,
including a hybrid or blended
model, where some
materials previously taught
in lectures are being moved
to online assessments and
readings. This shift in
course delivery allows
instructors to make the
classroom experience more
engaging without
diminishing the overall
quality of the course.
Over the next few years, UT
intends to support the
development of hybrid (and,
in some instances, online)
versions of all key courses in
the undergraduate
curriculum. We intend to
build off work undertaken in
the Course Transformation
Program (CTP), to expand to
other key courses in wellpopulated majors that are
likely to have a substantial
impact on student flow.
Looking beyond the gateway
50
courses, under the next
iteration of the Course
Transformation Program
(CTP 2.0), we are
developing our Learning
Technology and Analytics
Platform to enable faculty
and departments to engage
in education innovation
efforts (such as the flipped
classroom approach) that
deepen learning and
improve academic flow
through in key majors.
Preliminary results from the
CTP indicate that our
redesign efforts for the large
gateway courses have
already improved academic
success (average course
GPA), reduced course
attrition rates (QDFW),
improved student learning
(concept testing and other
learning assessments), and
narrowed the academic
achievement differentials
between students from less
privileged backgrounds and
those from more privileged
backgrounds (learning
assessments and course GPA
by cohort). Other
assessments related to
engaged, enriched learning
experiences show similar
results – an analysis of SERU
data indicates that students
who have participated in
undergraduate research are
more academically
successful; those who
participate in study abroad
are more likely to complete
their degrees; and those
that participate in the
Freshman Research Initiative
are more likely to stay in
science, have higher GPAs,
and receive more
scholarships than other
students. In each of these
cases, results indicate that
51
students who start with
lower levels of academic
preparation or who come
from less privileged
backgrounds gain the
greatest benefits from
enriched, engaged learning
experiences. Such
experiences are critical to
improving student success
and cannot be achieved in a
purely online environment.

Completion of program
requires significant lab work
that would be difficult to
replicate online.
Students majoring in biology
would be better served
taking the hands on
laboratory experiences
offered on campus; an
online biology degree could
hinder student’s progression
toward advanced degrees in
the health professions.
Rationale for NonEffectiveness
Based on the cost and effort
associated with offering
scientific lab courses online,
we do not believe that
Biology is a candidate for a
100% online method of
delivery at this time.
Completion of a degree for
the biological sciences
requires students to have
access to educational
resources, laboratory tools
and chemicals that cannot
be made available to

The program is not feasible
due to the cost involved
relative to the number of

program supports LVN
certificates, and in that
regard, it would be cost

The curriculum for the BS
degree in Biomedical
Sciences (BIMS) consists of
120 semester credit hours,
including 32 hours of
required lower division and
13 hours of required upper
division science courses that
incorporate hands-on
practical laboratories. BIMS
would not be an effective
program for on-line
education because of the
nature of its required labs.
Teaching laboratories are
vital and integral parts of the
BIMS educational
environment. Active learning
in real laboratories is an
57
essential component for
BIMS students to acquire
practical hands-on skills in
chemistry, biology,
microbiology, anatomy, and
physiology. In addition to
scientific applications,
students learn fundamental
motor skills, use of
laboratory equipment, and
laboratory safety measures.
These skills prepare them
well for the careers most of
them pursue in human
medicine, veterinary
medicine, allied health, and
laboratory research.
Effective alternative methods
for teaching these practical
skills and knowledge have
not been developed, though
supplemental methods, such
as computer models and
virtual laboratories, are
increasingly used to
reinforce learning in real
labs. The most optimistic
avenue for the development
of on-line education
modalities for biomedical
sciences education may be
realistic remote laboratories
whereby real laboratories
could be conducted via the
Internet. This approach
would require the
development of
sophisticated technologies
for the remote operation and
control of conventional
laboratory equipment,
coupled with realistic models
of mammalian anatomy,
mammalian physiology, and
microbiological organisms.

The IDS program is almost
entirely a certification
program which cannot be
provided completely online
because of required field
experiences, practicums,
student teaching, etc.
This is the program that
prepares students to be
teachers. A key element of
instruction is modeling
teacher behaviors to
students who will emulate
those behaviors in face-toface classrooms. Much
instruction is field-based in
public schools where
relationships are established
with future colleagues &
real-world scenarios are
experienced.
Recommendation of a
student for certification
requires knowledge of
student's qualities &
dispositions that wouldn't be
possible if all instruction
were online.
Standard program
requirements are not
possible due to multiple and
diverse courses in different
disciplines that are allowed
for graduation. Please note
that some courses are
available online.
It is not possible to deliver
this program online because
of the number of internships
and student teaching classes
required.

Rationale for NonEffectiveness
The dean and department
chair have both expressed
significant concerns about
how the quality of
mentorship, clinical practice,
accreditation and
assessment would suffer if
this teacher preparation
degree were put online.
The nature of the
coursework and learning
outcomes for the Kinesiology
program requires face-toface instruction, laboratory
experiences, and field
experiences. Thus, it is illsuited for fully online
delivery.
The Interdisciplinary Studies
degree program in the
College of Education and
Human Development
(CEHD) at Texas A&M
University is a teacher
training program which
includes preparation for
Early Childhood Generalist,
Middle Grades Math/Science,
Middle Grades Language
Arts/Social Studies, Special
Education, or Bilingual
Education certification. This
traditional teacher education
program requires students to
complete content courses in
subject areas outside the
CEHD (e.g. Math, Spanish,
History, English, Political
Science, etc.) and many of
these courses must be
taught at the upper division
level so graduates may be
classified as “highly
qualified” under the United
States Department of
Education No Child Left
Behind provisions. Even if
the CEHD could deliver this
degree plan in an online
format, there is no certainty
that the upper division
courses outside the College
would also be taught online.
Additionally, Texas
Administrative Code Title 19,
Part 7, Chapter 228, Rule
§228.35 provides the state
regulations for educator
preparation programs
regarding the amount of
field based experiences
required, the minimum
requirements for student
teaching, and the
supervision requirements
related to all field-based
observations. To comply
with this state mandate and
with the Texas A&M
University System Board of
Regents’ requirement that
CEHD teacher education
students receive a minimum
of 200 hours of field-based
preparation before student
teaching, the degree
program dictates that
students be observed closely
while in the field so their
specific training needs are
both observed and
addressed prior to student
teaching. This observation
process would be difficult if
not impossible in a strictly
online capacity. Based on
the unique requirements of
the traditional teacher
certification program
coupled with the narrowly
tailored needs of the
students seeking teacher
certification, the CEHD does
not feel this program could
be provided in a strictly
online format.

Rationale for NonEffectiveness
The BESS program is not
appropriate for 100% online
instruction. First, this major
involves knowledge, skills,
and disposition that focus on
direct service to people,
many with special
needs/disabilities. Online
instruction does not develop
the skills and attitudes
necessary to deal with
people individually or in
groups. Second, this major
has required lab experiences
that are not implementable
in an online format. Third,
this major has extensive
field experience/internships
that cannot be implemented
in an 100% online format.
Fourth, many courses have
fitness and hands-on skills
that must be mastered to
practice professionally.
These skills cannot be
developed or evaluated in a
100% online format.
It is not possible to offer this
program online because of
the necessity of physical
activity and
laboratory/exercise
physiology classes in the
program.
A number of courses require
"hands on" practical/lab
experiences
The nature of the

Rationale for NonEffectiveness
Several issues may hinder
completion of the
Psychology BA curriculum
100% online, especially for
particular courses. First,
there is some question as to
whether one critical required
course, PSY 3302
Experimental Design &
Research Methods, is
pedagogically appropriate in
online format. This course
requires completion of a
research study (often
conducted in groups) and it
requires specialized software
(SPSS) that is installed in
Texas State computer labs.
Second, some elective
courses are definitely
inappropriate for online
delivery (e.g., PSY 3352
Group Processes) and other
elective courses require
participation in off-campus
and community activities
(e.g., PSY 4396 Internship
and PSY 4390 Psychology &
Law). Third, there are issues
of quality that may not be
readily controlled online.
Many Psychology courses
require face-to-face
interaction for roleplaying/simulations as well
as participation in faculty
research labs and meetings.
While this could be
accomplished with blended
courses, it would be very
difficult with a 100% online
degree.
Two required capstone
classes, Research Methods
and Experimental
Psychology, have lab
components with hands-on
work that would not be
suitable for an online format.

Rationale for NonEffectiveness
Several reasons. The
program is already delivered
cost effectively with large
classes. Internet delivery
would be more expensive
from a faculty perspective
than the current program,
because the student-faculty
ratio would have to go
down. We don't have an
appropriate array of general
education courses or
electives available.

Rationale for NonEffectiveness
The following barriers
impede the effectiveness of
implementing a 100%
distance learning program:
lack of hands-on working
experience, lack of
equipment, lack of supplies,
lack of support, lack of
general safety practices,
students resource
availability, instructional
concerns, instructor
concerns and program costs.
Furthermore, the 100%
distance learning format
does not allow students to
successfully complete the
Diesel Equipment
Technology program
outcomes in their entirety.
The learning outcomes of
this program are: (1) Have a
broad understanding of all
systems in medium/heavy
duty truck maintenance and
off road equipment
maintenance; (2) Be able to
safely troubleshoot, analyze,
and repair all aspects of
equipment with critical thing
and problem solving skills;
and (3) Be able to
communicate to coworkers/customers
equipment maintenance
performed with oral and
written communication skills.
Blended delivery strategies
that combine distance
learning with practical
'hands-on' components may
be a viable alternative to
many of the courses in the
program that require
students to learn:
terminology, identify
electrical and schematic
symbols, identify basic
components of a hydraulics
and safety rules, but in order

Too many courses, including
clinicals, require hands-onlabs, on-site participation
and supervision by the
instructor.
The Nursing Program, and
more specifically nursing
courses, requires active
presence and participation to
complete program/course
requirements. Skills must be
practiced and the student
certified as competent in the
performance of each skill
under the direct supervision
of a faculty in the skills lab
on campus. Clinical
experiences cannot be
conducted online. The
student must participate in
direct patient care in a
health care facility while
being supervised by a clinical
instructor. Students who
took all the theory courses
online and lived in a distant
location would still have to
arrange for a preceptor or
proctor to assess their
clinical skills and supervise
their care of live patients.
The Program Graduation
Rate for face-to-face is listed
as 66%. This calculation is
based on those students that
have applied to and been
accepted into the nursing
program and complete
within a three year period
(students who have
completed all prerequisites
and are only taking nursing
courses). If the calculations

themselves as a nursing

and then graduate in a three

would be only 12%.
Degree requires clinicals that
couldn't be completed
online.
The Associate Degree
Nursing Program would not
be an effective online
program. Many of the
classes are hands-on and/or
require clinicals. Some
coursework could be
accessible online, but not
the entire degree.
Online delivery of the
required clinical experiences
is impractical
Nurses need to work with
actual people in at least part
of their clinical experiences,
sim-labs notwithstanding.
There are hands-on clinical
courses required that simply
cannot be delivered online.
Reflective of the type of
study required for this
program, only 61% of
unduplicated nursing
students in the past
academic year took an
online course of any type as
contrasted with more than
95% of OSHA majors who
can get an online degree.
Program is skills based and
requires hands on learning.
Clinical rotation is required.
There is concern whether
totally on-line instruction
provides adequate
preparation for graduation
and passage of board exam.

Rationale for NonEffectiveness
it is not possible to deliver
the BSN as an online
program because of the
necessity of labs and clinical
instruction.
Yes
Clinical courses & labs
cannot be done online, but
must be directly supervised
by specialized faculty.
Blended works with some
courses, but not with others.
Clinicals and other hands on
instruction are a major
portion of this program.
They cannot be completed
online and this would
preclude this program from
being offered 100% online.
Due to the specific
competencies required for
degree completion, this
would not be an effective
online program at the
Associate level. In addition,
the frequency reflects
students that identify the
major based on interest; it
does not reflect the number
of students that meet the
nursing admission
requirements nor the
number of students that are
admitted to the program.
The nursing program
requires extensive lab
courses and clinicals. TCCD's
view is that these courses
are best taught in a face-toface format.

25% (18 sch) of this degree
is already offered online. Of
the remainder 22%
(16sch)is lab science;
21%(15sch) is clinical and
32%(23sch) is nursing core.
Many additional elements
(39sch) of this degree can
be delivered totally online or
offered via hybrid courses.
If you do not count clinicals
and face to face labs, then
this could be effective
online.
A large portion of this
program involves hands on
skills that we do not feel
could be taught adequately
through an online format.
Several of our classes are
offered online but we could
not make the degree 100%
online.
The Registered Nursing
program requires students to
participate in hands on
activities and to be provided
access to tools and
educational resources. These
resources and activities
could not be effectively and
efficiently be made available
to students in an online
format.

Rationale for NonEffectiveness
The Associate Degree
Nursing Program is not
conducive to an online
format because of the
clinical components of the
program. The
didactic/lecture portion of
the curriculum could be
delivered on-line. However,
much of the instructional
impact of the lecture portion
of a course is obtained by
immediately moving the
class to a lab or simulation
center where skills just
taught can be manually
practiced. The use of
simulation center manikins
has obviated to some extent
the need for live clinicals,
but the experience of a
simulation center cannot be
adequately captured on-line.
It is still the case there is no
substitute for a live patient.
Even the virtual reality of
something like second life is
still a programmed
environment that while
virtual is not real. To
become effective nurses,
students need to be able to
practice on live patients to
experience the nuances and
diversity only real patients
can provide.

Rationale for NonEffectiveness
The skills and professional
development required for
effective Baccalaureate
education requires face-toface instruction, simulation
practice, role modeling,
patient contact, and
supervised clinical
experiences. Students
matriculate through seven
clinical courses with clinical
assignments with a
mandated 1:10 ratio of
faculty to students for
supervision. If students were
at a distance more
resources, reimbursements
for faculty travel, and
workload adjustment for
travel would be required to
provide supervision of these
beginning students. As well,
students at a distance would
need to travel several days a
week to attend simulation
laboratory sessions and
seminars for synthesis of
content and clinical
experiences.

Rationale for NonEffectiveness
Our students want the
flexibility of being able to
mix online and face-to-face
instruction, particularly in
such areas as accounting
and finance. To prohibit face
to face students from taking
online courses would
damage the enrollment in
the program.
At present, this program is
offered as a distance
education hybrid program,
and the courses are offered
in shortened, 5-6 week
modules. Most students are
working full-time, and they
take one course per session.
They are currently able to
complete around 9 hours per
long semester and graduate
within 15 months. If the
program moved to 100%
online, the length of the
classes would need to be
extended to the full
semester in order to allow
students the opportunity to
adequately process course
information. Students would
not be able to register for as
many hours, and time to
graduation would be
increased.

Appendix VII. Explanation of Institutional Costs by The University of Texas at
Austin
The University of Texas at Austin presented the following rationale and methodology for
their cost projections: “Program Costs reflect the costs for implementing as a standalone program, the only program, or the first fully online program. Therefore, costs of
establishing the core curriculum fully online are included in each program’s cost study.
Core Courses: Determined classes to fulfill institutional core curriculum requirements
based on highest enrollment courses in each requirement category/discipline option.
Allowed the minimum required SCH plus minimal additional course selection. Specifically,
provided enough course options to insure adequate flag courses are available. College
Core: Determined classes to fulfill Liberal Arts additional core requirements based on
highest enrollment courses in each requirement category/discipline option. Allowed the
minimum required SCH plus minimal additional course selection. Additional course
offerings above the institutional core were required for languages. All other additional
requirements were drawn from the established institutional core online course list.
Program Requirements: Determined classes to fulfill specific degree program
requirements based on highest enrollment courses in each requirement category (i.e.
lower vs. upper division, etc.). Allowed the minimum required SCH plus minimal
additional course selection. Specifically, provided enough course options to insure
adequate flag courses are available. Course Count: Aggregated courses across the 4
programs, core, and BA core into single course list and took course count. Faculty
Count: The model assumes a 1:1 ratio of faculty members and unique course ids,
though it may be possible for a faculty member to develop multiple courses
simultaneously, or a single course may require input from multiple faculty members.
Enrollment Estimates: Determined high enrollments in most recent two academic
years for each course. Determined estimated online enrollment seats per course based
on 10% of historical enrollment in the course id. Degree Awarded: estimates assume
enrollments of 30 0,600, 1000, 1000, 1000 over the five years and graduation of 5% in
two years, 15% in 3 years, and 40% in 4 years. Start-up Costs: Included in the 1st year
delivery figure as "ramp-up" costs. INSTRUCTION includes Faculty salaries and
benefits and TA salaries and benefits. ACADEMIC SUPPORT includes a Learning
Specialist, Assessment Professional, and Instructional Technology personnel salaries and
benefits. INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT includes a per-seat licensing fee for Canvas
(hosted) software, registration/help desk/business services personnel salaries and
benefits, application infrastructure support personnel salaries and benefits; per-student
and per-course costs for central coordination, marketing, help desk, software training,
and learning analytics support; and administrative overhead charge at 5%. STUDENT
SERVICES include access to all advising, health services, career services, etc. at both
the institutional and college levels via per-SCH fixed amounts based on campus and
college budget expenditures for those services. Faculty Salaries (Content): Average
faculty salary per department is based on 2011-2012 average academic rate for
128
Tenured/Tenure-Track faculty in the department (Faculty Demographics Cube).
Department averages for those disciplines not indicated as academic departments in the
faculty database were derived from the appointments database. Additional Salaries
(Translation): The average Learning Specialist salary was determined based on the
institutional college average for the titles "Learning Specialist I-IV" The average Learning
Technology salary was determined based on the institutional college average for the title
"Inst Tech Specialist" The average Assessment Specialist salary was determined based
on the institutional college average for the title "Soc Sci / H R Assoc IV. Benefits:
Benefits as part of faculty and translation personnel costs are calculated as 26% of rate.
Infrastructure: Includes per-seat charges for Canvas hosted LMS and personnel for (1)
central registration, help desk, and business support and (2) technical personnel for
central application infrastructure support. Benefits for personnel costs are calculated at
26%. Academic Costs: Includes TA Salaries and a Student Services Overhead charges.
Other than implementation of additional technical infrastructure components, the same
per-student advising requirement is assumed as with on-campus services. TA's
Required: The number of TA's required for each course is based on 1 TA per 250 seats
enrolled. TA Salaries: Average TA salary is the average 2011-2012 rate for colleges
across the institution. TA Benefits: Benefits as part of TA personnel costs are
calculated as 23% of rate. Student Services Overhead: Institutional Student Services
Overhead of $10.33 per SCH produced was calculated by dividing VP SA expenditures
for Academic Support, Student Support, Institutional Support, and M&O Plant for 10-11
FY by the total institutional SCH production for the 10-11 academic year. College
Student Services Overhead of $4.80 per SCH produced was calculated by dividing
College of Liberal Arts (CoLA) expenditures for Student Support for 10-11 FY by the total
SCH production for CoLA course offerings for the 10-11 academic year. Administrative
Costs: Basic administrative overhead is conservatively based on 5% per THECB
Accountability Report; percentage is applied to the sum of Content, Translation,
Academic, and Student Services Subtotal (pre-overhead) cost estimates. Additional fixed
costs per course include central coordination positions, marketing, help desk, and
teacher training. Additional fixed costs per student (seat) include learning management
system and learning analytics support. Ongoing Costs: Ongoing Content and
Translation costs are based on 40% of original base startup cost in 2nd year and then
15% plus 2.96% cost of living increase in years 3, 4 and 5. Ongoing IT Infrastructure
costs are held constant in each year given a per seat cost. Ongoing Academic and
Administrative costs are expressed as constant ratios plus a 2.96% cost of living
increase in years 3, 4, 5. (cost of admin salaries and supplies). Other than
implementation of additional technical infrastructure components, the same per-student
advising and business bandwidth requirement is assumed as with on-campus services.
