Our Focus

Higher education is in the midst of change: Colleges and universities are trying to support students while facing rising costs, increased competition, and changing demographics.

At the same time, students with financial, time, and accessibility limitations are struggling to complete degrees and achieve their career goals through continuous learning and up-skilling.

The higher education business model must evolve.

It’s critical that institutions of higher learning find ways to effectively prepare future workers – keeping pace with the fundamental changes occurring in the workplace – and helping them to retool their skills continually throughout their careers.

UMGC Ventures is a hub for innovation, 100% focused on identifying revenue-generating opportunities to support the transformation of higher education.

The proceeds of its efforts are returned to the UMGC endowment, helping to maintain the affordability of a high-quality education for adult learners in Maryland and around the world.

Our efforts benefit business and government organizations by delivering high-impact,
low-risk, continuing workforce education and training opportunities.
