The Academic Affairs Department oversees key initiatives that support academic direction and degree planning for both Blended and Brick-and-Mortar students. Central to its mission is the management of academic advising services, including coordination of the advising team, administration of school-wide advising software, and maintenance of the degree dashboard.
Academic Affairs collaborates closely with the Vice Dean for Academics on curriculum planning, including the development of the academic calendar, establishment of course frequency plans, and oversight of the final examination process. The department also serves as a liaison to several academic committees and partners with Admissions to support recruitment efforts and communication with prospective students across both program formats.
In addition, Academic Affairs plays a vital role in onboarding new students, working in partnership with Academic Excellence, Admissions, Career and Professional Development, and the Office of the Dean of Students to ensure a smooth transition into law school.
