      Note.  Working with other institutions on an existing degree program might take a number of forms, e.g., beginning to offer a long-standing UA program as a “cooperative” program with UA still the primary institution for program resources and administration.   Alternatively, it could take the form of a “shared” program that is mutually sponsored by two or more institutions but would not be terminated if one of the institutions becomes unable to meets its obligations to the shared program.
