Demographics
Population
• Chula Vista and the encompassing Sweetwater Union High School District
have grown and will continue to grow at faster rates than San Diego City and
San Diego County. (40% in Chula Vista; 11% in SUHSD)
• A large percentage of the growth has been among 18-34 year olds; in
particular there is a large growth among 18-20 year olds (63% - Chula Visa;
14% SUHSD)
• The Hispanic population in Chula Vista and the SUHSD has also grown
higher than the rate for San Diego County. Hispanics represented 80% of
the population growth in Chula Vista between 2000 and 2010

Model Findings to Date
State Funded Higher Education Institution
Financial Feasibility
• This model remains untenable and risky unless California amends its funding of
public education through dramatic action
Operational Feasibility
• There are numerous resources for establishing a new UC or CSU campus
Market Demand
• The strategic goals of the CSU and UC systems can be satisfied given
demographic, geographic, and economic trends in Chula Vista
Phase-ability
• Legally requires an enrollment of 3,000 within 5 years, but has the flexibility to
begin as an “educational center”
Case Studies: UC Merced; Public Policy Institute of California; Center for Education Policy and Law ; California Postsecondary Education Commission

Model Findings to Date
Private Higher Education Institution
Financial Feasibility
• Campus expansion is often built into the budgets of private institutions and
higher tuition revenues support expenses
Operational Feasibility
• Satellite campuses often require less overhead and fewer facilities, focusing
more on academic programming
Market Demand
• The demographic, geographic, and economic assets of Chula Vista satisfy
benchmarks for expansion, but high tuition prices may preclude some residents
Phase-ability
• Many satellite campuses begin as internship programs and evolve to operate
campus facilities
Case Studies: Emerson College (Los Angeles); Ithaca College (Los Angeles, D.C); NAICU

Experiential Learning Education Institution
Financial Feasibility
• Campus expansion is often built into the budgets of private institutions and
higher tuition revenues support expenses
Operational Feasibility
• Satellite campuses often require less overhead and fewer facilities, focusing
more on academic programming
Market Demand
• Though tuition remains high, cooperative institutions have strong connections to
regional industry partners
Phase-ability
• Many satellite campuses begin as internship programs and evolve to operate
campus facilities
Model Findings to Date
Case Studies: Drexel University (Sacramento); Northeastern (Charlotte);

Model Findings to Date
Tech/Engineering Education Institution
Financial Feasibility
• Higher tuition revenues may cover expenses, though these institutions require
large capital investments in high-cost technology
Operational Feasibility
• These institutions may require fewer resources because they are graduate
Market Demand
• Though it would satisfy regional industry needs, it is unlikely that most residents
are academically and financially prepared for these kinds of institutions
Phase-ability
• Carnegie Mellon began as a small facility and is gradually expanding
Case Studies: Carnegie Melon (Silicon Valley); Cornell NYC Tech (planned)

Model Findings to Date
Vocational/Technical Education Institution
Financial Feasibility
• Funding for CTE programs and colleges has been decreasing at the national
and state-level over the last ten years
Operational Feasibility
• CTE in California is overseen by a unique and efficient framework called
Regional Occupational Centers and Programs
Market Demand
• Partnerships with local high schools allow vocational colleges the opportunity to
serve the educational needs of local populations
Phase-ability
• Partnerships with local High Schools, ROCPs, and Community Colleges allow a
number of pathways for phase-ability
Case Studies: ITT Tech; Humboldt Park Vocational Education Center; NASDCTEC; ACTE

Model Findings to Date
Religious Educational Institution
Financial Feasibility
• Religious universities often rely on start-up capital from mission based
philanthropic organizations or wealthy donors
Operational Feasibility
• A religiously-charged mission could interfere with certain operational measures,
such as land-use and zoning, budgeting, human resources, and student life
Market Demand
• Though all religions merit consideration, the growth of Catholic residents has
outpaced population growth in San Diego County between 2000 to 2010
Phase-ability
• Many institutions surveyed began with double-digit enrollment and expanded
Case Studies: Ave Maria University; Soka University; Catholic –Hierarchy.org; Thomas Aquinas College

Model Findings to Date
Newly Established Private Institution
Financial Feasibility
• A newly established institution will require significant financial capital but has the
flexibility to pull from various sources
Operational Feasibility
• A newly established institution will require building its operational capacity from
scratch
Market Demand
• It is likely that a new institution will tailor its scope to meet local needs
Phase-ability
• A new private institution is inherently “phaseable”; Soka University of America
evolved from a non-profit, to a small graduate school, to a 103-acre
undergraduate institution
Case Studies: Soka University

Multi-Institutional Education Consortium
Financial Feasibility
• Joint-use institutions permit a diversity of public and private funding streams
Operational Feasibility
• Successful consortia require complete buy-in from all parties (Auraria);
unsuccessful consortia (UT Brownsville) are derailed by differences in pedagogy,
ideology, or governance
Market Demand
• Since this model often includes community and industry partners, it can easily
satisfy local demographic, geographic, and economic trends
Phase-ability
• Successful models have begun as “loose partnerships” (UPS/Metropolitan
College in Louisville) and evolved into place-based institutions
Case Studies: Auraria Higher Education Center; Center for American Progress; UT Brownsville; Metropolitan College; Santa Clarita COC

Model Findings to Date
International (Mexican) American University
Financial Feasibility
• The most common funding model requires the host government/private entity to
put up initial capital for the facilities
Operational Feasibility
• Operational feasibility varies depending on whether the receiving city has a
regulatory framework conducive with the goals of the home institution
Market Demand
• It is likely that this institution would satisfy demographic trends and the broader
need for international cooperation
Phase-ability
• These ventures require large capital contributions and must have adequate
economies of scale
Case Studies: Rice University; Journal of Higher Education; Puentes Consortium; NYU Abu Dhabi

Model Findings to Date
Four-year Community College Extension
Financial Feasibility
• The inclusion of a community college district might require bond or tax
financing, which presents difficulties given California’s current fiscal climate
Operational Feasibility
• Partnerships and transfer programs aside, state action is required to expand the
functionality of a Community College in California
Market Demand
• Since community colleges are often closely connected to the needs of their local
constituents, the expansion would likely satisfy market needs
Phase-ability
• Similar models in other states have evolved from transfer partnerships

Model Findings to Date
Non-traditional Institution (For-Profit)
Financial Feasibility
• Though traditionally feasible, bad publicity and recent budget restrictions have
reduced the assured profitability of this model in California
Operational Feasibility
• There are hundreds of For-Profit Colleges with well-defined operational
frameworks
Market Demand
• For-Profit Colleges must grapple with accountability in degree retention
Phase-ability
• Since they follow a for-profit model, these institutions often phase their
operations according to local conditions
Case Studies: 2012 California Budget Act; Kiplingers; University of Phoenix;

Model Findings to Date
Non-traditional Institution (Online)
Financial Feasibility
• There is currently a profitability disconnect between online “satellites” (Drexel)
and more accessible “free models” (Coursera; Udacity)
Operational Feasibility
• Online institutions have a reduced scale of operations: even though Drexel had
to scale back its Sacramento facilities, its online presence has grown
Market Demand
• California has passed a preliminary bill making some online credits transferable
to any CU, CSU, or CCC school
Phase-ability
• The ability to offer courses, license materials, partner with institutions, and
transition to a place-based hybrid are all within the reach of an online institution
Case Studies: Drexel (Sacramento); Coursera; Udacity; New York Times ; Colorado State University; Bill SB-520

Model Findings to Date
Non-traditional Institution (Hybrid)
Financial Feasibility
• Few examples exist, though this model would likely grapple with the same
financial disconnect mentioned in the previous model
Operational Feasibility
• A hybrid model would require greater overhead than a purely online institution,
but less than a campus based institution
Market Demand
• A hybrid model would meet both the needs of universal accessibility and the
needs of physical/cultural integration
Phase-ability
• A hybrid model could be easily phased in or scaled back depending on local
needs

Olympic Training-Related Institution
Financial Feasibility
• The USOC spends a very limited portion of its budget on administrative
expenses and may be unlikely to pursue a project with significant overhead
Operational Feasibility
• As there is no precedent, there is a reason for concern about the degree of
control asserted by the USOC
Market Demand
• It is unclear whether this sort of facility would meet the demand of the national
athletes or the community
Phase-ability
• Since the USOC already provides financial support for athletes, a place-based
institution could grow from this model

Model Findings to Date
Military Education Institution
Financial Feasibility
• The GI Bill provides a consistent and steady stream of tuition revenues
Operational Feasibility
• A successful model catering to veterans requires investments in workforce
training, disability care, counseling, and mentoring
Market Demand
• San Diego County and Chula Vista have a proportionally high rate of Military
Veterans in the state of California
Phase-ability
• It is possible that this model could begin as a Veteran’s Support program
partnering with a local CC or CSU
