The approval of the Master of Continuing Education degree program at The University of Calgary was the culmination of a five-year project. While the program has many innovative aspects, it is the process of developing and approving a proposal for a professional, course-based program by a faculty perceived to be "service" oriented that is described here. The challenges, political realities, and fortuitous events are chronicled, along with the lessons learned.
