Proposing an Online and/or Self-Supporting Graduate Professional Degree Program (SSGPDP)
Graduate Studies supports the development of all online and/or SSGPDP program proposals and facilitates the campus review process involving Graduate Council, Budget and Institutional Analysis (BIA), and the SSGPDP Coordinating Committee. As with all new program proposals, interested faculty should work closely with their lead dean's office throughout the proposal development. The typical review timeline for new proposals is a minimum of 12-16 months from proposal submission to UCOP approval.
The new central campus investment and revenue sharing model offers proposal development support for new graduate and professional academic programs, whether online or traditional. See full details here.
