PROPOSAL FOR CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
L
Title
"Program Leading to the M?ster of Arts Degree v>'ith Certificate in Public
History 11
The proposed "Program in ?ubl ic History'' is designed around a two-year
curriculum, su6cessful completion cf the first year to result in e Master's
Degree in History, successful complet1on of the second year to result in a
-Certificate in Publit History.
The SUNYA Department of History proposes to
introduce the pra9ram begln~ing in January 1983.
2.
F,at ionale
The pro;re:T, IS desis;r1ed tc trc:in professioncl historians for \•,•ork aut-
sicie the academic setting, or at leest the conventional academic setting.
Its graduates should find employment \vlth historical socie.ties, r;;wseums,
policy planning.
All too often, professionc:ls l•.•orking in these areas hi:lYe-
been trained in the technlcal aspects of their vocetion, but do not have en
adequate backgrond in history.
The ne~d far a hlstaricel perspective is
quite obvious in preparing students for careers in historical soc1eties,
museums, and archives, but it is less apparent, but also highly desirable,
that those interested in being involved in public policy pl~nning be equipped
to explore the historical implications of future policies.
;:
Another important reason for ~Hiding this program to the wniversity 1 s exist-
ing curricula is that jobs for professionally trained historians exist in both
pwbl ic and private sectors, as indicated by the proliferation of pub) ic his-
tory programs at major end minor institutions throughout the United States.
True enough, vocational opportunities ere indeed constrained by the current
state of the American economy, but those constraints limit the opportunities
of all college graduates these days and ~re not the relatively permanent limite-
1 . .''l.
t ion (dec 1 in i ng need' for professors ana secondary- schoo 1 te<!!chers) that has
spectacularly constricted job opportunities for graduates of traditional his-
tory progre:iis.
ln fact, if agency desire for history interns is any criterion
on v.•hich to base a juclgment, ~the financial exigenC:ies pose problems ror
the vocational success of potential graduates.
The History Department has been planning a public history program for
quite some time.
Several years ago, consultants were brought in to discuss
the possibility of the establishment of a doctoral program in local and regional
history.
(These consultants came from Cornel 1 University, the Minnesota Historical
Society,
an~ the Newberry Library.)
Although the! r reports were in asreement
on. the vie~i'lity and centrality of iocel and refional history and on the capacity
of the History Depart~ent to offer a do:torel program in this field, the Depart-
ment concluded that the most
sensi~le course of action would be to expand the
existing t-•. J:. .. program before movins on to the doctoral level.
lt \,•as decided
("' -
,::::::;·,
to build en the 1oc61
an~ regional concentration in the M.A. program and develop
a specic:lty in the grov1ing field of public history.
ln P.pril 1981, si'!:•JH!£1 frl!ft'\"'
bers of the Department ~et with a sroup of professionals represeriting museums,
archives, and other history~releted organizations to plan such~ program.
This
meeting resulted in the decision to institute a course of study that \•muld
culminated in the granting of s Master of Arts Degree in History and a Cer-
tificate in Public History. 1The wisdom of this decision was con'firmed in
subsequent discussions with the Director of the University of California at
Santa 5arbara 1s Program in Public History and 1~ith the Co-Director of Carnegie-
Mellon University 1s Program in Applied History, both of whom Indicated that
our resources and location placed us in an excellent position to operate a
highly successful program.

.
Relationship to Other University Programs and Cempus Mission
........... · ..
Tne program's relationship to the campus mission is a close and
.........
~:::;::.·.· .
... I.'··
direct one.
In the v.oords of Chsncellor ~!hsrton, "The cai.lpus long has sssumed,
as 2n important special mission, the orientation of
re5,e~rch and education
to the needs of public affairs and policy."
With its proposed Program in
Public History, the History Department has readied itself to play a role
in this mission.
SUI~YA'S program v,•ill be the only such program located within
a r.,ajor state copital in the United States.
As such, it can be conceived of
as exploiting, in the most desirable manner, the remarkably close relstionship
bet1;,•een
SUt~YA, state government, and other metrO?olitan ~gencies., both public
c:n·d private.
In terms of relationship with other university programs, the Department
hes initiated close coordination with other interested campus facilities.
Thus
the School of Library and Information Science will cooperate with the His-tory
.r-· ..
"::.;;;: .
Department in the "Historical Records Administrztion'' component of the propo~ed
program, and the History Department welcomes the proposed curriculum of the
Univers!tY
1 S nevJ Department of Public Affairs in the hope that some of its most
highly qualified students will wish to take advantage of the opportunity for
obtiining dual master's degrees in Public History~ ?ublic Affairs.
Indeed,
the designated director of the proposed program,. Robert R. Dykstra, Professor of
History Md Public Policy, holds a joint appointment in the nevJly created de··
partment and is helping devise its curriculum.
~.
Requirements
The program reqJirments were constructed after consul_tation with professlonale
re~resentlng several museums, archives, and other history-related organizations
in the Capital District.
They meet, or exceed, the "Standards for Histori.ce;l
Agency Training Programs 11 established by the American Association for State and
Local History.
,---
1
·o;:::
The proposed program entails ~8 credits, minimum.
Students will be
required to complete a three-phase curriculum:
a substentive history con-
centration (21 credits), a series e:f ?rofessional courses (9 credits), and
an internship and thesis (18 credits).
The substahtive history concentration
..,,•ill include a ''local and regional history'' emphasis in order 'to insure that
every student has a thorough unders"canoing of the needs of users of hi storicel
materials in state or local agencies and other institutional repositories,
including those of business .c •
, 1 rms.
The second phase of training requires the
student to select a vocational emphes is in one of three subfields:
Historical
Agency S::udies, Historical Records ?.c'·ninistration, or Hi~tory ;end Public
POlicy.
Courses cof.lpleted durin; :his trainin9 phase vJi.ll depend on the
emphasis.
At the close of It the St\..·dent 'vJill be required to complete a
r..ajor field exal'71inctiori in local a:.d regional history, the successful passage
of which wil.l result in the awarding of a master of arts degree.
At this point
e~ch student may decide whether or not to continue work toward the certificate
in public history, and the program director may choose -r:o te.rminate thc!;e
students deemed of insufficient promise to continue.
Phase three of the progra~ embraces en indlviduelly tailored, project-
oriented internship (12 credits), to be completed in one of at least a dozen
cooperetin£ asencies in and aroLmc' the Capital District. {confinning letters
of intent from such agencies ere
on Hl.e.
During thc:"t intership, the student
will participate in a two-semester internship col1oquium and "Write a thesis
bc:sed on en aspect of the internship project.
Successful completion of phase
three v1ill result in awC:lrd of the Certificate in Public !iistory.
Finally, it should be noted thet the proposed
lnsti~ute for Local and
Regionc:'l Studies, still very r.,uch in the planning stage at the moment, but
'vJith the· Erastus Corning Oral History Project as its ce.n"terpiece, clearly
h'i 11 play more than a peripheral role in the History Department's Program in
Public History, although the precise dimensions of tha.t: role await a more pre-

else definition of the facility itself.
!).
Resources Required
The exisiting History faculty, supplemented by the use of adjuncts~
Is adequate to implement the Program in Public Hl5tory:
Several member&
of the Department have been involved in the planning of the program (Dykstre,
Kim, Steen), others have proposed key courses (Birr, \..'esser, Wi ttraer). and at
least two additional faculty members have indicated an interest in part1cip&tion
in the near future (Birn, White).
It is expected that sufficient hnds. \odll
bes avai )able to employ adjunct faculty to te:ach r."lOst of the "professional''
~ courses.
Library resources also aie eoequo::te to the needs of the progr¢:m.
Ho>·.•ever, if none~.· resources ere necessary to launch the program, its
continuation as a high-quali:y prosram likely to attract the best potential
students requires the addition of another Amerlcanist with research expertise
in local and regional history.
6.
Support
Assurances of support for the proposed program have been offered by
President O'Leary, Vice-President 11chman, Dean \..1ebb snd a number of O'ther
key administrative figures on campus, es well as from a substantial number of
important persons in cooperating e9encies vJithin. the Capital District .•
Dr. Peu)
Scudierie, Director of the New York State Museum's Division of Hlstoricel end
Anthropological Services, end Dr. Bruce Dearstyhe, Senior Archivist wi~h the
New York State Archives, have been of exceptional help in encouraging formction
of the program.
Dr. Roderick Blackburn, Assistant Director of the Albany
Institute of History end Art, end Dr. Theodore torbett, Director of Historic
Cherry Hi 11. have made valuable suggestions ~oncernlng curriculum.
Additional
statements of support fro:n off-campus rr.ay be seen in the agency letters of in-
tent (on fi 1 e).
7.
Impact on Region and State
It is the Department's l,.mderstanding, based on consulte'tions with the dir\ecto
·~6
.:'l:,.:·:·:':'::
' ~,';";; ;; :
of probably the natioN 1 s two most pretigious public hi~tory programs--
those at Santa Barbara and Carnegie-Mellon-- that bur program will in the
beglnnins draw mainly students fro~ New York State; it can also reasonably
be c:ssumed thc:t, again initially, the program 1s graduc:tes will seek jobs
mainly within this resion and state.
Indeed, many of our first students,
v.'e knm;, v.'ill be men and
~-.•omen alreadv e..11ployed in history-related administrative
positions in the Capital District who wish to possess academic credentials
that enhance their desires for vocational advancement.
But the specific impact of the nev-· program on region and state, in a.
1c::-ger sense, depends very r.wch on
hO~'>' knOI·,•ledgeable users-- that is pro-
fessionc:l research historians
rate the quality of historical services and
history-related progra~s such as those dealing with architectural preservation.
There is no single estimate of the~ quality, but it is clear from various user
assessments and observations that qual lty is extremely uneven, varying from
!!Wperior to very poor.
Access to important historical records in the Capital
District, for example, range from fl rst·rate at the Albany Institute or the
Schenectady Department of Public Safety or the Albany County Clerk's Office
(which has recently created a historical archives), down to nonexistent at
such an enormously importcnt e~tity as the General Electric Company, v1hich has
as yet no capacity for making its vest archives available for historical research.
J:.lthough ultimately e SUI~Y-Albany Program In Public History may be expected
to have an Influence as wide as the intelleLtual reputation of its teaching staff,
initially--
in combination with an Institute for Local and Regional Studies-~
it can be expected to assist Importantly in the effort to raise the conscious-
ness of state and region in the metter of preserving and making available its
precious historical and cultural resources, at the same time training and certify-
ing professionals devoted to serving the increasing opportunities generated by
new levels of public and private awareness of our historical heritage.

Award and title.
The program is designed to lead to the award of a
Certificate P<f: A_p~ j~
in Regulatory Economics.
Rationale.
Regulatory economics is one of the traditional fields in
economics:
receratl.y it has been the focus of attention.
Regulatory
economics.includes both the health effec:ts from certain occupations
and the effect of inflation on electricity prices as part of its field
of study.
Many of these regulations are administered by state govern-
ment, e.g. gas and electricity prices, telephone prices, cable-T.V.
This course of stud w' · -l?,rovide neededJ£ainin.~ fo;r J2.rof~~io~~;s
(e~specially attorneys, engineers, and accountants) employed· y
e
New York ~ate PUblic Service Cs>mmis~w.IL..~~es- (e. g., the
~~ce of Energy, Department of Environmental Conservation).
The
courses initiated by the program will serve also as an additional
specialization available to students in the Economics M.A. program;
M.A. students specializing in other fields of Economics will have the
opportunity to broaden their expertise (and improve their employment
prospects) by qualifying for the Certificate as well as the M.A. degree.
The same opportunity holds, of course, for other graduate students (e.g.,
those in Public Administration and the School of Business).
Finally,
employed professionals participating in the program will have made a
step which may encourage some to deepen skills by further work toward§.
graduate degree.
Relationship of program to other SUNYA pro~rams. and campus mission.
The program is unique as to the subject matter but, as already indicated,
nicely complements existing Economics and other graduate programs.
As
to the campus mission, the program shapes up as a model of SUNYA coopera-
tion with state agencies to support agency functions, improve the SUNYA
curriculum, and establish a basis for further useful collaboration.
The
Certificate Program's subject matter is in tune with SUNYA's public policy
thrust.
4.
Description of program and requirements.
The program consists of four
courses:
Microeconomic Analysis (Eco 500).
A separate section of this course, a
requirement for the M.A. in Economics, would draw its examples from
specific regulatory situations.
This slant is important, in laying the
foundation for the next two courses.
Economics of Regulation and Anti-Trust (Eco 570) .
This course continues
to develop microeconomic analytical tools, but introduced the institutional
framework$ w:i:thin which practical issues in regulation must be handled~
Much of the material in Alfred Kahn's classic Economics of Re9ulation will
be covered.

A.
Introduction
Graduate programs in Pathobiology are designed to prepare studenta
for technical, professional, and supervisory positions and careers in
academic institutions, public agencies, and industry.
The curricula 'lti.ll
~?;mphasize the application of classical biological, physical, and medical
sciences to help solve env.i.ronmental and public health problems.
The prog'ratns ax•e designed to achieve three principaf objecti'IU~s:
(1)
to provide an advanced level of kno'Wledge in biomEHiical and environ.,.
tlental sciences; (2)
to promote acquisition of specialized tec;:.hnical
kno'Wledge and investigative expertise in one or more areas of advanced
study in these sciences; and (.3) to prol);lote scho;l.arship in relevant areas
of public health.
' .
Speciali:z;ation areas available for intensive course study ~;.nd t.hesis
r~search include clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, microbiology
~ and immunology, mammalian and medical genetics, and molecular and cellular
pathology.
Study in each of these areas of specialization consists of a
co1l!lllon, required core of courses, reconn:nend.ed optional courses and seminars,
and research.
Additional optional cou~ses for selected in-depth stuoy are
available at other nearby campuses.
In suwmary, the M.S. program will require a ~imum of 28 credits of
graduate study and 8 credits of scholarly ipvestigation or research.
'l'he
Ph.D .. program 'W'ill require a minilnu,m of 38 course credits and 28 c:.re.d.its
of original laboratory research. All degree students 'W'i.ll be required to
take a core .curriculum of 12 ... 13 credits and to attend t.he weekly Center
for Laboratories. and Research Synrposium series.
Each student will be
required to complete a 'Written qualifying exa.m:Lnation and to present a
master's thesis or defend a Ph.D. dissertation.
The proposed progr~
will be sufficiently flexible to satisfy student interests and needs, and
sufficiently balanced to ensure comprehensive and in-depth knowledge and
experience for professional competence.

F.
Projected Student Enrollment
The Graduate School hopes to initiate the academic programs formally in the
fall of 1983.
At first only a few students will be expected to enroll; but as
moderate numbe:sof students take elective courses provided by these programs or
enroll for graduate degrees, the faculty, depa..""t:mental commitments, program
offerings, research opportunities, a.nd other resources will be expanded accord.i.ngly.
OVer the first five years we would anticipate a full-time student enrollment as
follows:

UNIVERSITY SENATE
STATE UNIVERSITY OF. NEW YORK AT ALBANY
Powers of the University Senate
INTRODUCED BY:
Executive Committee
It is hereby proposed that the following be enacted:
I.
That because the powers and responsibilities of the-Faculty of-State Univer-
sity of New York at Albany, all of which, with the exception of specific
reservations, the Faculty has delegated to the SUNYA Senate, are vaguely
stated as " ••. the development of the educational program of the University
and ••• the conduct of the University's instruction, research and service
programs, subject to the provisions of the New York State Education Law
and the Policies of the Board of Trustees" (Article I, Section 3.1), the
Senate assumes upon itself the obligation to interpret the extent of those
powers and responsibilities.
Unless otherwise specifically directed by
the Faculty, the Senate will construe its charge (Article I, Section 3.2)
in the broadest possible sense.
II.
That the Senate assumes that any policy, practice, or condition within the
University which in its judgment significantly affects the quality of the
institution's legitimate functioning is a proper concern of the Faculty,
and hence, of the Senate.
III.
That the Senate, recognizing that the· powers of the Faculty, and hence, its
own, are limited by State Law, by the policies of the Board of Trustees, by
the policies of the SUNYA Council, and by the prerogatives vested in the
President of SUNYA, assumes that the Faculty properly expects to be consulted
regarding any proposed change in these policies and regulations, and hence,
the Senate expects to be so consulted.
IV.
That, although the Faculty, and hence, the Senate has no authority, beyond
that of individual citizenship, for the governance of local, county, state,
and national political jurisdictions, some policies and actions of external
governmental bodies significantly affect the quality of the University's
legitimate functioning; and on such matters the Faculty might properly be
expected to register its approval or disapproval, as appropriate.
When,
therefore, and only when, a situation external to the University is demon-
strated to the Senate's satisfaction to affect significantly the quality
of the University's functioning, the Senate may appropriately express its
approval or disapproval and if circumstances seem so to warrant, will seek
endorsement of its action from the Faculty and the student body, through

denied the right to speak at least once during the debate.
3.
That Council reports be handled in the following fashion:

clearly distinguish between information and recommendations
for action.

"That 614a Biological Electron Microscopy, 614B Laboratory
for Biological Electron Microscopy, and 614c Advanced
Biological Electron Microscopy be added to the list of
courses on Page 9."
The motion was seconded.
The Chair explained that the list of
courses, as suggested in the sentence introducing that list, only
served as examples to illustrate the nature of the proposed program
and was not a list of actual courses submitted to the Senate for its
approval.
Approval of courses is not the business of the Senate but
is subject to the usual academic procedures governing the introduction
and changes of curricula.
The Chair suggested that the motion ought
rather to be regarded as a friendly amendment.
The suggestion was
accepted by the Chair of the GAC and by Senator McGee-Russell.
The original motion.was then voted on and passed.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:55 p.m.
