How are colleges and schools organized?  prev next

The campus is organized into five colleges and nine schools as follows:

College of Chemistry

College of Engineering

College of Environmental Design

College of Letters and Science

College of Natural Resources

The various schools and colleges are further subdivided into departments or divisions. "Colleges" accept students directly from high schools or as transfers from other undergraduate institutions, and offer undergraduate instruction leading to a bachelor’s degree. "Schools" usually begin instruction at the upper-division or graduate level and do not necessarily offer undergraduate degrees. The colleges and schools are headed by deans, who report to the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost. The College of Letters and Science, the largest college, is divided into five divisions, each headed by a dean; one of the deans serves as executive dean for the college.

Each college and school publishes an Announcement of school requirements, degree programs, and academic policies. These may be obtained from the Dean’s office of the respective college or school or viewed online.

The Graduate Division is an administrative unit that works in cooperation with the Academic Senate’s Graduate Council to oversee the admission and degree progress of all graduate students, except those in the School of Law.
