6. CNO's URL Graduate Education Summit
Relevant high interest areas for URLs
Operations Research ̶̶ Undersea Warfare
Cyber ̶ Systems Engineering
Desired program options
18-month resident curriculum (with JPME)
Satisfy current P-coded billet demand
Meet P-code requirements
24-month DL program (no JPME)
2 courses at a time
"Executive" degree (not necessarily P-code satisfying)
12 month resident curriculum (with JPME)
Designed to fit URL career-driven requirements
9/21/2018

7. MOVES Considerations MOVES inherently multidisciplinary
Broad "core" curriculum
Numerous potential concentration blocks
No undergraduate MOVES programs
Few opportunities for validation of core courses
Best fit "feeder" degrees
Computer Science
Operations Research
Applied Mathematics
Engineering (possibly)

8. 18-Month Program Options
Reduce matrix by 7 courses
Eliminate refresher and review courses
Requires highly qualified applicants only
Might require increased admissions requirements
Eliminate core courses—less breadth
Combine core courses—less depth
Reduce concentration block requirements
Reduce block size from 3 to 2
Reduce block requirement from 3 to 2
Bottom-up program redesign
Start to finish research tie-in
Fewer formal courses, more hands-on
"Practical" introduction to theory
9/21/2018

9. Options for 12- and 24-Month DL Programs
Any/all 18-month program options on the table
Meet MOVES MS requirements only
40 MOVES graduate hours
1 concentration block
Thesis
Hybrid DL/resident program
DL courses for core curriculum
DL Certificate programs pulled from the curriculum
Resident program for advanced courses and thesis work
Develop a "capstone" program
Not necessarily an MS in MOVES
9/21/2018

10. Current MOVES Certificate Programs
Certificate in Modeling & Simulation Management
4-course program (all DL deliverable)
3 courses from the MOVES MS program
Certificate in Networked Virtual Environments
3 courses from the MOVES visual simulation block
Others under consideration
