MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Training
SUBJECT Academic Credit for Selected OTR Courses
1. The Education Committee has been looking into the
possibility of obtaining academic credit for as many OTR courses
STATINTL as possible. Thanks to , who made the introduction,
preliminary discussions have taken place with
STATINTL
who is quite interested in working with us in this matter. We
are also in touch with the American Council on Education which,
while not an accrediting organization, could evaluate our courses
and make recommendations to universities from whom credit is
desired.
STATINT
2. We have tentatively selected twenty-three OTR courses
which appear to have the best potential for receivin# academic
cj'eAj-t., (See attachment) We plan to proceed by asking
appropriate Unit Chiefs to designate a knowledgeable individual
to work with the Committee w o could describe the course content
each case and present it in the form required by the STATINTI
University. This individual should also beable to provide the
Committee with examinatio".tje ions foran~. cours ;k (in his Unit)
which the university deems necessary for use in determining whether
an individual is sufficiently well informed to be given credit
for the course.
3. It is anticipated that we will try to make. similar
a:rangements with the Washington Metropolitan Area Consortium
and the Northern Virginia Consortium so that Agency employees
who have taken certain OTR courses may obtain academic credit
from almost any college or university in the Washington, D.C.,
metropolitan area.
4. We will keep you informed of our progress in this
p:.:oject.
