Responding to changes in higher education, student needs and the ever-evolving workforce, Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ recently reorganized its academic structure after a two-year planning process.
The university’s new three-college model is aimed at expanding opportunities for students in healthcare, analytics and STEM, while maintaining Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµâ€™s longstanding liberal arts tradition. Also offered are alternative educational pathways, including adult-learning programs and courses to earn specialized credentials.
The three colleges are Rosary College of Arts, Education, and Sciences; the College of Business, Information Studies, and Technology; and the Borra College of Health Sciences.
“The reorganization of academic programs and units under this new model enhances our ability to offer students innovative, interdisciplinary and enriching educational experiences,â€� said Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Provost Dr. Mia Hardy.
“It will also foster greater collaboration across disciplines, better align related academic programs, and streamline our organizational structure for enhanced synergies.�
