The Miami Academic Program Incubator (MAPI) advances two recommendations (#5 and #18) in Miami’s strategic plan, MiamiRISE: (1) to “develop a mechanism for experimentation using a curricular innovation lab”; and (2) to “redesign the current process for curriculum review in order to make it more flexible, efficient and responsive.”
Designed through a collaboration among the Office of the Provost, University Registrar, Council of Undergraduate Curriculum, Graduate Council and Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness, the Miami Academic Program Incubator (MAPI) aims to encourage, support and incentivize the rapid revitalization and creation of undergraduate and graduate programs that are aligned with the University mission and meet student and market needs as well as to ensure that Miami offers a high-quality and cost-effective portfolio of academic programs.
Faculty, departments and divisions considering the development of new degree programs, majors, co-majors or certificates should participate in the MAPI program.
Faculty and departments considering significant revisions of existing programs (meaning more than 25% of the content or credit hours related to the program are being revised) are encouraged (but not required) to participate.
