A new Policy on Self-Supporting Graduate Degree Programs was adopted in September 2011. Since 1996, when the original policy was adopted, there has been slow but steady growth in the number of self-supporting professional programs. UC now has over 40 such programs, enrolling over 4,000 students and generating over $100 million in fee revenue. These programs address very specific workforce needs as well as generating resources to support core academic departments.
