The Office of Undergraduate Education was created in 2016 through a merger of the offices, programs, and initiatives formerly housed in both University College and Academic Services. Lead by the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education, the Office serves as a synergistic hub for the University’s undergraduate education mission. Through its offices – Athletic Academic Center, Disability Services, Pre-Health Advising, University Advising Center, University Career Center, University Center for Academic Excellence, University Transfer Center, Office of Undergraduate Research – the Office of Undergraduate Education seeks to provide a range of academic, career, and support services to students (primarily undergraduate students but in some cases graduate students also). In addition, UGE coordinates across the University’s academic colleges to ensure the integrity and quality of the University’s undergraduate education programs. These efforts encompass the work of the offices mentioned above and initiatives that include Academic Advising Systems, Communication Across the Curriculum, and Prospect for Success. Collectively these offices and initiatives give the Office of Undergraduate Education a central role in envisioning and implementing two overarching University initiatives: New Student Induction and the Graduation Initiative
