Revising a Program

If you are proposing to revise an existing degree program, you will need to fill out the RME form (Word, PDF). This is called a "reasonable and moderate extension" and differs from the proposal of an entirely new degree program. Please see this RME sample (Word, PDF) for the BAAS degree in Emergency Management.

Use this form when you are seeking approval from the IBHE to elevate an existing option to a stand-alone degree program, to change a program’s degree designation, to create a new post-baccalaureate certificate program, to combine two existing degrees into a single degree, to offer an existing program at a new off-campus location out of EIU’s region (Prairie), or to develop a new (but temporary) research or service center. NOTE: If your request is for a research or service center, please adapt the questions as appropriate.

If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Suzie Park at sapark@eiu.edu.
