Course Project: Part 1 - see attached excel document for the data (Budget Spreadsheet)

Course Project: Part 2 - Case Study Assignment Instructions

You will develop a narrative report that provides detailed context on the key performance indicators and budget items along with a variety of institutional characteristics about the selected institution. The purpose of this assignment is to go through the process similar to preparing an annual budget report at many colleges and universities.

Building on the data collected and displayed in the Budget Spreadsheet, you must provide highlights of representative tables and charts that convey an accurate depiction of the selected institution. This report must be prepared in a Word document following the current APA style, with at least 10 pages in the body of the report (excluding the title, references, and appendices).At least 5 references must be included. The following sections must be included:

• Title Page

• Overview and Institutional Characteristics

• Enrollment

• Employees

• Revenues and Expenses

• Endowment

• Capital/Plant

• Discussion (Practical Application and Biblical Worldview)

• Reference Page

• Appendices

Throughout the Case Study, it is appropriate to provide narratives that shed light on the numbers and figures. There must be a clearly identified Discussion section in which you must not only address the specifics of the institutional data but also describe the practical application to the institution and potentially to the broader industry of higher education at large, and identifyrelevant scriptural principles and perspectives from a biblical worldview. The Case Study must include at least 1 relevant Bible verse.

It is highly recommended that you browse the Internet to locate samples of other institutions’ budget reports. This kind of search will enable you to get a better sense of how budget managers draft narratives about the key performance indicators, enrollment and financial trends, and other relevant information.

Course Project: Part 3 - PowerPoint Assignment Instructions

You must prepare a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 10–20 slides, excluding the title and reference slides. The slides must display highlights from the Budget Spreadsheet and Case Study, similar to a formal budget presentation to an institution’s senior administration or governing board.

• Title slide

• Institutional Characteristics (name, sector, affiliation)

• Enrollment (undergrad/grad)

• Employees

• Revenues and Expenses

• Endowment

• Capital/Plant

• Reference slide(s)
