This report discusses the alternative program structure developed independently at the University of Georgia, by dealing with a particular phase of the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS) work, i.e., their Program Classification Structure (PCS). Three primary programs presented by NCHEMS are considered as primary functions and three alternative programs are categorized so as to link the outputs of higher education. The alternative program categories are "Direct Student Related Programs"; "Environmentally Related Programs"; and "Inwardly Directed Programs". (MJM)
