Academic Affairs Office

The Academic Affairs department at the College of Professional Studies, in collaboration with the schools and colleges across campus, works to ensure students have the necessary resources to complete their degree. Academic Affairs also conducts ongoing research to develop new data driven programs in response to the global marketplace, administers and completes course, program, and faculty reviews, and makes recommendations and adjustments to program curriculum so that students graduate with the knowledge and skills needed to meet future market opportunities.
