To continue to align state university degree programs with the economic development and workforce needs of the state, the Florida Board of Governors has identified several Areas of Programmatic Strategic Emphasis. These targeted degree areas include:

Click here to see a list of UWF degree programs which have been identified as serving these areas of emphasis.

Student credit hours are calculated by multiplying course enrollment by course credit hours. The numbers included in this table represent the student credit hours generated from courses offered by the department in the Fall and Spring semesters. In CICS, this is determined using the DPT1 and/or DPT2 field listed on the course section (see RCSO).

The weighted student credit hour totals displayed in the table are calculated using the following weighting factors:

Lower Divisionx1.0
Upper Divisionx1.2
Graduatex1.6

For more detail on the numbers displayed in this table, see the Academic Affairs Budget Office website. Student credit hour reports are in the Financial Information section under Student Credit Hours Per Semester.

Please note that the table does not include student credit hours generated from student exchange courses (those with a location code of "IE" or "NE") while the student credit hour reports on the website include these hours. For some departments this will cause a small discrepancy between the two sources. You may click on any row in the student credit hour reports on the website to see a complete breakdown of each course included in the total. The location code for each course is displayed in that breakdown.

* Line detail is not available for Fall 2009

Departmental growth capacity represents a department's ability to support more students by offering more courses or raising course enrollment. The growth capacity rank identifies the departments with the greatest need of more faculty lines to support its current student credit hour load. This ranking is determined by dividing the department's weighted fall/spring student credit hours by the number of regular line-item instructional faculty in the department at the start of that academic year. These numbers are displayed in the Student Credit Hours table and the # of FTE Faculty by Tenure Status table, respectively. Departments with lower rank values have less capacity for growth based on this calculation than those with higher rank values.

The complete growth capacity ranking of all academic departments is available for each year displayed in the table. To see the complete ranking, click on the academic year in the heading of the table.

The instructor types used for the Average Class Size table and the Percent of student credit hours taught by instructor type table do not correspond directly to the instructor type listed on the instructor's record on the course offering in CICS (see RIND and/or RCSO). The instructor type listed in CICS is referred to as the reported instructor type and the instructor type used for the tables is referred to as the effective instructor type. The effective instructor type is calculated as follows:

If the reported instructor type is:

The low enrollment courses table displays the number of courses at the undergraduate and graduate level which have enrollment beneath the standard benchmark value for that level. The standard benchmark value is 20 students for undergraduate courses and 15 students for graduate courses. The following rules apply to both the count and the percentage of low enrollment courses:

  Faculty Line Search Request Template -- 2014 - 2015 Faculty Searches Help

Department Name: Theatre

New Line Request
  1. Describe how this faculty line will advance UWF's legislative and strategic priorities in the applicable categories:
    • Economic Development/Workforce Demand

      Music Theatre is the most competitive and sought for area of in theatre. Graduates in Music Theatre are more competitive in the workforce and far more likely to work. Mr. Reddy brings a level of quality that helps make our students far more prepared to enter into the workforce and far more prepared to join a quality graduate program.

      In the Department of Music, Mr. Reddy teaches students who are pursuing the Bachelor of Music Education (BME) and the Bachelor of Music in Performance (BM). Almost all of our BME students are hired into permanent teaching positions in the state of Florida after graduation because they are certified to teach in Florida. The rate of successful placement in teaching jobs in the state of Florida is consistent and notable. The majority of music majors pursue the BM in performance. Of those majors, the large majority are voice majors. One of the statistics for the music department states that degrees awarded for BM in Performance is up 400%, an increase that can be justified by the number of BM voice majors that have graduated in recent years.

    • Florida Board of Governors Areas of Strategic Emphasis      

      Not applicable.

    • Accreditation Requirements

      The Theatre Department is looking towards NAST accreditation. Quality voice instruction is key to this accreditation. Mr. Reddy brings an excellence and professionalism which difficult to find in this region. He was trained at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia and has numerous professional credits. All this is critical when seeking accreditation.

      The Department of Music is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM). Quality Voice instruction is key to maintaining our accreditation. Mr. Reddy is a first rate opera singer with world-class training from the Curtis Institute of Music. He has the ability to transform young singers and mentor them successfully through the music major.

    • Community/Visibility

      Mr. Reddy has been instrumental in coordinating an exciting international experience for the Theatre students. This summer we will be taking a group of 9 students to Ireland for a month. They will have the opportunity to perform as part of an international Arts Festival, and then research and prepare an Irish play to bring back to campus. This is all done through the contacts that Mr. Reddy has in Ireland. This project will bring some very unique visibility to the University in Ireland, and it will give the University an opportunity to showcase this experience with the Pensacola community in the fall when the students present the Irish production.

      Mr. Reddy brings innovation and international reputation to UWF with the Ireland Program. Recently while performing for the Irish consulate in DC, he established connections that will allow the music department to have a branch of the UWF Ireland program in Dublin in the summer of 2015. He is also creating connections between the UWF Department of Music and the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin for future student and faculty exchange programs.

  2. Any additional information to further explain the request such as comments on evidence of quality, general education requirements, significant pressure points, Emerald Coast offerings, online courses, etc:

    Mr. Reddy will greatly enhance the departments ability to retain students in the program. The quality of his instruction and his ability to connect with his students will help retain students in the program. Having appropriate numbers of Voice instructors also helps students stay on track towards graduation. Theatre has a very strong record when it comes to 4 years to graduation and having instructors like Mr. Reddy greatly enhances that ability.

    The need for the voice line has becoming more crucial since Dr. Dunn took over the role of program director in 2013-2014. Realistically, the music department has needed an additional voice line for a number of years in order to manage the voice area course delivery. Sharing a visiting line will begin to address some of the needs in the voice area, which is historically the largest major in the department. In addition, the music department's adjunct funding costs will be reduced.

  3. If this request is for a tenure-earning position, explain why a tenure-earning position is needed:

  4. a. General Description of Workload Assignment:

    This request is for a shared line with Theatre and Music. The line will reside in Theatre but the teaching responsibilities will be shared in both departments.

    Teaching Assignment in Theatre:
    • Music Theatre Voice - BFA students
    • Music Theatre Voice - BA majors
    • Production and Performance
    • Music Studio courses
    • Music Pedagogy
    Teaching Assignment for Department of Music:
    • Applied Voice
    • Vocal Pedagogy
    • Vocal Literature
    • Opera Workshop
    • Italian, French and German Diction



    b. Explain how the workload/courses are currently being covered by the department:

    In both Theatre and Music, Mr. Reddy is teaching these courses as an adjunct. It has become impossible for Mr. Reddy to continue teaching these courses at our current compensation model. The skills and visibility that Mr. Reddy brings to the department are so great that it would be impossible to find another adjunct that could bring that same level. It is this extraordinary situation that prompts us to request a visiting line for Mr. Reddy so that we may continue to offer the students the same level of instruction and build the Ireland project that we have started. The Ireland project has the ability to include a range of programs at the University and really build a unique international opportunity for the programs at UWF.
