Marshall University offers only high-tech graduate-level programs. Marshall has two principal operating departments, Commerce and Social Sciences, and two support departments, Facility and Technology Maintenance and Enrollment Services. The base used to allocate facility and technology maintenance is budgeted total maintenance hours. The base used to allocate enrollment services is number of credit hours for a department. The Facility and Technology Maintenance budget is $500,000, while the Enrollment Services budget is $900,000. The following chart summarizes budgeted amounts and allocation-base amounts used by each department:
| | Services Provided: (Annually) |
