Self-supporting programs
A new policy on Self-Supporting Graduate Degree Programs was adopted in September 2011 and then revised in 2016 and 2020. Since 1996, when the original policy was adopted, there has been a steady growth in the number of self-supporting professional programs. UC now has over 110 such programs, enrolling about 10,000 students and generating over $408 million in revenue in 2021-22. These programs address very specific workforce needs as well as generating resources to support core academic departments.
