Academic Reorganization Planning
Page Content
The Plan for Academic Reorganization arises from the commitment of academic affairs at Å·ÃÀAV to enhance the distinctiveness of academic programs and to create a sustainable model for academic programming. The Provost, Deans, chairs/directors and faculty advisory bodies at Å·ÃÀAV play an integral role in shaping our reorganization initiative and the concomitant success of academic programs.
