Background

Recognizing the barriers to effective university teaching described by the Boyer Report, the Task Force on Curricular Reform enivsioned the School of Undergraduate Studies not only as the custodian of the core curriculum but also as an advocate for high quality undergraduate teaching generally. Toward this end, UGS collaborates in various ways with the Division of Instructional Innovation and Assessment, and the Dean of Undergraduate Studies serves with the Provost, Vice President for Research, and Dean of Graduate Studies as a member of the President’s promotion and tenure committee.
