Transformation Lab
Moving ideas forward .
From concept to reality, we take ideas from across campus and help launch them into new educational models and ventures that transform the University.
The Ideas We Work On
The Transformation Lab works on large, complex innovations that involve either new educational models or business models. Additionally, the Transformation Lab leads efforts to evaluate changes in foundational systems that are often needed for new educational and business models.
Education Models
The Lab works on new educational models and new academic programs for the University. We partner with colleges, programs, and divisions to accomplish this work. Educational models are types of “educational structures” used to deliver programs for student enrollment.
Business Models
Business models are other value-added (revenue or mission) models outside of programs for the college. Ideal models are those that are revenue-generating and mission-aligned.
Foundational Systems
Foundational Systems refers to initiatives that are needed to build a foundation to accelerate growth in additional educational and revenue models.
