Two types of professional graduate programs:
• Professional Degree Supplemental Tuition (PDST) • Full time program leading to a masters or doctoral degree in a
professional discipline. • PDST revenue is spent on the program that charges the fee and has
return to aid requirements. • PDST cannot be charged to a masters degree en route to a PhD.
• Self-Supporting Graduate Professional Degree Program (SSGPDP) • Terminal masters and professional doctoral programs only. • Cannot use State General Funds or tuition and fees paid by students to
attend state-supported programs. • Surplus revenue is unrestricted. • No minimum Financial Aid requirement.

SSGPDP Proposal Approval Process1

SSGPDP Estimated Timeline
Total time: 1.5 -2 years (approximate)
• Market study: 3-6 months*
• Budget: 2-3 months (simultaneous w/market study and proposal)*
• COD discussion: present 1-page summary for 10-15 minute discussion*
• Graduate Division review of academic proposal: approximately 2+ months (includes multiple revisions)*
• Campus Academic Senate review: 4 months
• WSCUC screening form (simultaneous w/Senate review)
• Review by the Vice Provost for the Faculty: 1 month
• Systemwide Academic Senate review: can take 7 - 9 months
• UCOP administrative review: can take 1-2 months
• Open application and address other administrative matters
• SSGPDP proposals require the following (unlike PDST proposals):
– market study,
– budget template,
– discussion at COD meeting,
– Senate faculty salaries and other expenses (including non-Senate faculty, staff, space) cannot use State funds; new policy no longer requires similar ratio of Senate-to-non-Senate faculty as in state-supported programs offered by department, and
– estimate of impact on state-supported programs and how that will be mitigated.

New Academic Ventures at Berkeley
(NAV-B): Market Research Process
12
Market Research Process: 3-6 Months Total Depending on Complexity
6 weeks
Focuses on developing concept and inputs to guide research team Deliverables include strategy session, research brief and statement of work
3 weeks
Assesses broad factors such as labor market and competitors Deliverables include historical and future job growth, comparables, and most in-demand skills
8 weeks
If decision is to proceed, surveys prospective students to identify optimal features such as concentrations, format and price Deliverables include demand curves with tuition recommendation and ideal program design
13
What Happens in the Final Report?
● We share our final analysis in presentation form for discussion and then ultimately
write a memo to the Graduate Council with the NAV-B recommendation.
● The memo reflects the discussion along with input from the NAV-B Dean (Diana Wu),
Executive Director (Scott Shireman) and Marketing Director (Chris Van Nostrand).
● If we recommend approving the degree, the presentation and memo are appended
to the degree proposal and specific findings are incorporated into the marketing and
recruiting section.

Phase 1 Deliverables: Secondary
Research
15
To Provide Context, Jobs from Proposed Degree are Compared to those Entered from Parent Degree
For instance, in this case we were comparing openings for software engineers and architects to those graduating with a proposed masters in emerging technology or social practice.
16
Historical Trend Provides a Sense for Recent Demand and Scope
Positions are aggregated from the job listings provided by the department
17
Future Growth is Identified for Specific Jobs and Also Standard Benchmark
18
Most In-Demand Skills Are Broken Out to Guide Curriculum
Green = increasing demand
Yellow = stable demand
Red = decreasing demand

Second Survey Section: Discrete Choice Modeling
School, duration and format inputs are customized for each study. Each respondent chooses their ideal preference 16 times, with each set of options adapted to their prior answers. This method allows us to identify the ideal program for each respondent, and then group together all the respondents to see in total the preference for say, online versus on-campus programs.

• Regents amended PDST policy in March 2017
• Under previous policy, PDSTs were approved year-by-year; either President or Regents would approve depending on % increase
• Under new policy, PDSTs are approved by the Regents according to a multi-year plan that covers two to five years, no further approval needed unless fee levels requested higher than planned
• UCOP issues call in Jul-Aug, with forms due back in late Oct / early Nov
• PDST increases are generally capped at 5% per year; must provide comparable costs from public and private peer institutions
• Student demographics data (gender, ethnicity, socio-economic status) is closely scrutinized alongside diversity recruitment strategies
• Student consultant required for multi-year plans

• SSGPDPs required to submit annual program and cost templates, even if not requesting fee increase
• New programs have 3-year ramp-up period to demonstrate financial viability
• Total SSGPDP fees are usually inclusive of all other charges (program fee + campus-based fees + SHIP, etc.)
• UCOP issued call in Nov-Dec, templates are supposed to be due in March (but for 2018-19, UCOP pushed deadline up to January 31st)
• UCOP requires student consultation only every-other-year

• Ten-year prospective financial pro forma for revenue and expense
• Other Academic Expenses: Classroom Space, External Facilities
• Administration and Services Staff
• Marketing and Recruitment
• Online programs: payments to BRCOE or outside vendor
• Campus assessment 15%
SSGPDP Campus Financial Pro Forma Template

33
SSGPDP Campus Financial Pro Forma Template
Considerations: • Online vs. Classroom
• What is Faculty vs. Lecturer vs.
GSI mix?
• Is there existing space available
for use, or will program need to build-out or rent space?
34
SSGPDP Campus Financial Pro Forma Template
Considerations: • What are the step admin costs
(adding full or partial FTEs?) • Need to think through “hidden”
costs of student support and other services
• Program Director is considered staff expense (even if faculty)
• Marketing/Recruitment/ Advertising costs need to be realistic
35
SSGPDP Campus Financial Pro Forma Template
Considerations: • For online programs, how will
vendor costs impact the bottom line?
• Campus Financial template
uses the 15% assessment
• UCOP cost analysis template uses IDC rates: o 25.3% for on-campus o 12.7% for off-campus/online
36
• Annual program template – narrative that summarizes academic program reviews, student charges, financial accessibility, consultation with faculty and students
• Cost analysis shows three-year revenue and expense (previous year actuals, projections for current and following year)
• Template for 2018-19 cycle used Indirect Cost rates (IDC) specific to each campus to demonstrate SSGPDP financial self-sufficiency (Berkeley: 25.3% for on-campus; 12.7% for off-campus & online)
• Because UCOP applies an IDC rate to demonstrate financial self-sufficiency, the 15% campus assessment is not included
