The Academic Affairs Division, led by the Provost, is the foundation of our academic enterprise. Encompassing the five schools — Arts & Sciences, Business, Leadership Studies, Professional & Continuing Studies, and Law, and units from the Modlin Center for the Arts to Career Development — Academic Affairs is dedicated to supporting our distinctive mission as a liberal arts university.
We guide, support, and celebrate academic excellence through the alignment of partnerships, resources, and policies. Through collaboration across campus, we enhance faculty creativity, research, and teaching and prepare students for lives of purpose, thoughtful inquiry, and responsible leadership in a diverse world.
