UPCEA Benchmarking Research & Consulting

Unbundling Analysis/Occupational Mapping

Are you preparing your portfolio for the modern learner through a stackable approach? Based on your existing programs, are there smaller and more stackable elements that would serve as an on-ramp to degrees or are there standalone credential opportunities? Explore programming areas in which you could develop a program with minimal cost.

Unbundling Analysis/Occupational Mapping

With the degree being a high-cost credential, can the same be achieved but with more affordable and immediate stackable certificates? Is there demand for these credentials?

UPCEA's unbundling analysis is a newer product in which the Association reviews an institution's portfolio, or subset of the portfolio, to explore for potential unbundled programs. The analysis relies heavily on the stackable pathway and attempts to identify potential programming areas in which an institution could develop a program with minimal cost. The estimated base cost (in research units) would depend on the number of programs included in the analysis.
