Academic Affairs

Academic Affairs

The academic area of the University is organized into four colleges. Each college is coordinated by a Dean who reports to the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Associate Deans are appointed within each college to oversee evaluation issues and assist the Deans. Colleges are divided into separate Departments – each of which offers a major(s) and/or minor(s). Departments are administered by Chairpersons who coordinate their operations with the Dean and Associate Dean of the respective college.
