Academic Affairs is composed of nine colleges, the University Library, and a broad array of offices that provide services and support to the university. The colleges are comprised of more than seventy-five schools and departments offering over two hundred academic programs, majors, minors, concentrations, and credential and certificate programs. The other units of Academic Affairs include the University Provost's Office; the J. Paul Leonard Library; the Divisions of Graduate and Undergraduate Studies and International Education; and the Offices of Academic Planning and Educational Effectiveness; Academic Resources; Faculty Affairs and Professional Development; and Research and Sponsored Programs.
All these areas work together to foster an environment that promotes high quality teaching and learning in an urban context of significant demographic diversity. Given the broad scope of Academic Affairs, and the wide range of activities supported by the University Provost's Office, we invite you to use the navigator to your left to connect to the location that interests you.
The University Provost is the chief academic officer of the university and is responsible for the formulation and implementation of academic plans, policies, and priorities, and for the allocation of resources to carry these matters forward. The University Provost provides the leadership required to achieve the highest standards in teaching, scholarship, creative activities, and service.
