Academic Affairs

The academic area of the University is organized into seven schools. Each school is coordinated by a faculty Dean who reports to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Schools are divided into separate departments – each of which offers a set of academic programs. Departments are administered by Chairpersons who coordinate their operations with the Dean of the respective school.
