The new academic realignment structure is a strategic effort to align the university with economic and community development needs. It’s a clear signal that we aim to respond to the needs of our external community and business partners.
Student success is at the heart of both the strategic plan and arrangement of our academic departments. The organizational structure clusters academic programs in a way that mirrors the occupational clusters our graduates pursue. The strategic plan commits the university to ensuring that students have both the broad-based education and field-specific preparation necessary to succeed in their chosen careers, as well as opportunities to demonstrate their competence and gain practical experience.
