Summary	The NPS GSBPP faculty -- collaborating with the GSOIS faculty -- will conduct a comprehensive course development project during the period April 2009 through September 2010 in order to design a 12 credit-hour-equivalent graduate-level Cost Management certificate course. The course focus is on the professional imperative for students to develop the requisite knowledge and cross-functional skills that will contribute to mission effectiveness in the cost managed Army Enterprise. The program of instruction will be designed to teach the fundamentals of cost management with a view to developing a cadre of Army personnel who are professionally knowledgeable, analytically competent, and personally motivated to serve as proactive change agents within their respective Enterprise line and staff organizations.
