Launching New Programs

EEV serves as a catalyst and incubator for program development. With decades of experience and customized shared support resources for continuing and professional education, EEV accelerates the path from idea to market and sets programs up for ongoing success.

What We Do

Have an idea? EEV can help incubate ideas from concept to fully formed and sustainable programming. EEV is built on partnership—working with colleges, schools, and units across UT Austin to extend the reach of their research and knowledge to new audiences. We provide planning and business analysis, supported by a robust shared services environment.

Shared Infrastructure and Risk Mitigation: By providing coordinated marketing, enrollment services, technology platforms, and business operations, EEV dramatically reduces barriers to entry for new programs. This shared infrastructure allows academic units to pilot innovative programming without shouldering full operational overhead or startup costs.

Market Research: Want to understand your audience and trends in your field? EEV helps units evaluate market demand, assess the feasibility of new and existing programs, and gather data to inform curriculum and marketing decisions. Our experienced staff complement your subject-matter expertise with secondary research and insights from leading labor market databases. With a variety of service options to meet both small and large needs, we provide intelligence to help partners across the UT Austin campus mitigate risks, maximize impact, and make smarter decisions.

New Program Frameworks: Is your organization ready to build a new online program? EEV acts as a partner to provide the expertise and guidance you need to create a sustainable framework. Our team can advise on budgetary guidelines, legislative processes, marketing strategy, timelines, and common pitfalls. As new initiatives advance, dedicated project managers ensure that work is coordinated across stakeholders and stays on track.

Instructional Design and Development: Our team of experienced course designers work with faculty to create high-quality learning experiences that meet the needs and expectations of modern adult learners and ensure that students acquire the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. Whether you’re building a new online program, are seeking to adapt existing content for a new audience or modality, or just want to make Canvas content more engaging, our staff can provide the support you need to build courses that produce outcomes.

Ongoing Program Administration: Our experienced course delivery team provides expertise and support – and, critically, staffing – for the variety of day-to-day activities required to make a program function, so you can focus on teaching and student outcomes. Regular check-ins and performance reporting ensure alignment with your program and organization’s goals.

Let’s Build Something Together

EEV’s collaborative approach enables joint program development with campus units, creating alignment while distributing financial risk across partners.

You have expertise in your field. We are distinctly positioned to incubate innovative learning experiences across disciplinary boundaries. Together, we can create innovative programs, expand the University’s public mission, and create impact.
