In September 2022, Chancellor Donde Plowman and Provost John Zomchick announced the outcomes of a 15-month-long exploration of our academic structures: creation of a college as an incubator and home for new degree programs drawn from multiple colleges and disciplines, a College of Music, a Baker School of Public Policy and Public Affairs, and a pilot divisional structure within the existing College of Arts and Sciences.
In February 2023, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved the creation of the three new academic units, and they launched July 1, 2023. Additionally, the College of Arts and Sciences was organized into three broad divisions: Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Please visit the College of Arts and Sciences divisional structure pilot page for updates.
