Attachment DDEGREE PROPOSAL SUMMARYJustification for the DegreeVirginia Tech’s Pamplin College of Business is a leader in global managementeducation instruction and research. The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) isrecognized as the national leader in defense education and research. The GraduateSchool of Business and Public Policy (GSBPP) focuses in particular on defensemanagement and public policy instruction and research. GSBPP also has the uniquedistinction of being accredited by both NASPA and AACSB which is emblematic of itsunique ability to integrate best private sector management practices with the uniquecontexts of the defense environment.This dual MBA degree fills an important niche in the greater Washington, D.C. area.Currently, only George Mason offers an MBA that focuses on defense professionals.However, that program lacks the depth that NPS’s expertise in defense instruction andresearch provides. Furthermore, this MBA, unlike George Mason’s, integrates Pamplin’sexpertise in private sector management with a strong technology and global focus withGSBPP’s expertise in all aspects of defense management including acquisition,financial management, Department of Defense policy, purchasing, and defense strategyand innovation. The two degrees provided by this program also give graduatessignificant flexibility with their future career choices.Finally, this program will strengthen each school’s brand in the greater Washingtonarea. In addition, this VT and GSBPP collaboration creates possibilities for jointresearch projects between faculty.Proposed Graduate CurriculumThe program is comprised of 54 semester hours of coursework. Virginia Tech will offer27 semester hours covering core MBA courses; its faculty will be solely responsible forteaching courses that make up this program block. Similarly, NPS will offer 27 semesterhours; its faculty will be solely responsible for teaching this defense-focused courseblock. After completing both schools’ program requirements, students will receive aMBA from Virginia Tech and an additional MBA from NPS. To be awarded these twodegrees, students must adhere to the academic standards and policies of both VirginiaTech and NPS.The program will be 19 months long and meet on alternate Fridays and Saturdays.NPS faculty will travel to the Northern Virginia Center campus to teach their coursesface-to-face. In addition, NPS faculty will supplement instruction with on-line material.This partnership falls under 10 U.S.C. Section 2195, which authorizes the establishmentof cooperative education programs for undergraduate and graduate education.

For example, in its March 2008 edition,Business Week featured an article entitled, “Even the Brass is Hitting the Books.” Thearticle discussed how managing the logistics, human resource policies and practices,multi-billion dollar budgets, and other business-related aspects of conducting militaryactions in multiple countries have created pressures for both military personnel anddefense contractors to possess an ever more sophisticated knowledge of best businesspractices. It went on to describe how officials in Washington are increasingly sendingtheir top officers to business schools to take advantage of traditional businesseducation. This program is designed specifically for the defense industry and alsocarries the outstanding reputation of Virginia Tech, its proud military heritage, and itshighly-respected Executive MBA program, and combines that reputation with that of theNaval Postgraduate School and its specialized expertise. As both the military anddefense-related companies have embraced the value of business education, thedemand for this program is expected to be quite strong.
