24:59:01:03.  Application of continuing programs. An application for a continuing postsecondary program must be submitted to the executive director of the Board of Technical Education for approval whenever a program's risk profile warrants such review. A program's risk is compiled by analysis of the program's enrollment, retention, and placement over a period of at least three years. A local program advisory board or council endorsement is required on programs not holding national, state, regional, or industry accreditation or certification specific to the degree being awarded. The executive director shall place high risk programs on a plan of correction for a minimum of one year and shall review the program before approving funding each year until the program is discontinued or deemed of acceptable risk.
