Academic Affairs Overview
The College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (COPHS) Office of Academic Affairs (OAA) supports the Office of the Dean by ensuring excellence in student and faculty success and engagement. To accomplish this, the OAA works closely with the Office of Student Services (OSS), the Office of Assessment, Planning and Evaluation, the Office of Experiential Training (OET), and various University offices to advance the mission of the College. Additionally, the OAA provides oversight to the Teaching, Enrichment, Advising, and Mentoring (TEAM) Center, Interdisciplinary Health Professions Simulation Center and the Office of Clinical and Administrative Services (OCAS) and guidance to the three (3) Academic Departments that provide instruction for the eight degree programs within the College. Hallmarks of this office are transparency, timeliness, and accuracy in its responsiveness to stakeholders’ needs and its ability to serve as an information resource for faculty and students.
