Last fall, Academic Affairs conducted a comprehensive technical review of all of our undergraduate degree programs to verify all degree requirements. While curriculum is the purview of the faculty, the accuracy of our degree plans is the purview of Academic Affairs, Health Affairs, and Strategic Enrollment.


Message from the President - April 5, 2019

As the national conversation on a possible border closure continues to evolve, we want to share an update and reaffirm our support for all of our students, staff, and faculty, who are critical members of our university family. We are committed to supporting those of you who are affected by the current border situation.


Message from the President - January 24, 2019

Welcome back, and thank you for all of your hard work in making the start of the new semester a success. Spring 2019 enrollment is running almost 5% ahead of our largest Spring ever, and our graduate enrollment is running about 9% ahead of our best graduate enrollment ever, regardless of the semester.
