Consider your current major and the courses that comprise it. From the perspective of your university, and more specifically, from the department that "owns" this major, identify the stakeholders of this major

Question

List the stakeholders in two categories, internal and external and assess the environment and the goals of each of these stakeholders.

Answer 1

Examples will vary, but internal stakeholders might include the students pursuing this major, the faculty in the department and any service department teaching the constituent courses, and other university faculty or staff, e.g., advisors, placement offices, continuing education, etc. External stakeholders could include graduates, area employers, the community, and the state legislature for public institutions. Goals for internal stakeholders might be to grow the program, place students in well-compensated and high-profile jobs, score well on nationally normed certification tests, secure research funding and consultancies, and retain and graduate a high percentage of matriculants.
