Market-Driven Academic Program Ventures (MPVs) are intended to function akin to venture capital funding. The Office of the Provost, in partnership with the Graduate College, will provide "start-up" resources for new, innovative academic programs that align with current market opportunities and that have the potential to provide key professional opportunities for future students. Although the primary focus will be on innovative master's degree programs, cutting-edge, reputation-enhancing, sustainable undergraduate programs will also be considered.

MPV proposals should focus on new degree programs, or significant redesigns of existing degree programs, that have significant market appeal and that are highly distinctive with respect to competitor programs. These programs can be on-campus, online, hybrid, or remote programs in collaboration with other universities or colleges at satellite locations or within the facilities of corporate partners. 成功的MPV团队将获得资源支持，用于正式的市场JDB电子研究和分析和批准，第一年的教学发布时间，指导新项目的部分支持，以及酌情资助，以促进和推进适用的伙伴关系。Assessment of the quality and number of applicants, course outcomes, student progression, professional outcomes of graduates, and finances will be directed at assuring the success, quality, and sustainability of each MPV.

应用程序。MPV团队需提交一份白皮书（不超过5页），内容包括：

• Title and description of the program
• 基本原理和高水平的学习成果
• 创新（什么方法和属性使这个项目与众不同，对未来的学生和行业有独特的价值，包括分析德雷克塞尔大学内外潜在的重叠和/或竞争项目）
• Timeline and approach
• A definition of the degree program(s)
• Departments and academic/research programs involved
• 教师专业知识
• Degree requirements and plan of study
