Welcome to the Office of Curricular Affairs!
We collaborate with administrators, faculty, academic professionals, staff, and students to improve programs, practices, and processes that advance the academic mission of the University in some of the following ways:
- Assisting faculty with the Academic Program Review – Self Study Reports that evaluate a unit’s strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and opportunities for future development.
- Providing reports to the Arizona Board of Regents regarding Academic Organizations, Academic Program Review, Articulation, Curriculum, General Education, and Strategic Planning.
- Partnering with Academic Initiatives & Student Success and the Office of Global Initiatives to extend the UA’s reach through new domestic and global locations.
- New courses, course modifications and inactivations
- Launching new academic programs and modifying existing academic programs
