post-baccalaureate certificate in management from Bowie State University;
and an existing master of public administration and doctor of public
administration to be offered off-site by the University of Baltimore

Education Commission as "low productivity"
- Strategic plans for the USM's Universities at Shady Grove and Hagerstown
