Associate Dean Duane Buhrmester leads the Undergraduate Education team in its efforts to ascertain the University’s compliance with the SACS goals associated with undergraduate education. This compliance requires an examination of the general education component as a part of the undergraduate program but also focuses on the role of on- and off-campus programming as a contributor to student success. This team also focuses on the evaluation of transfer course work and the academic policies that contribute to “good educational practice.” The team, along with the Graduate Education team, also examines the role of academic support services in student success and the degree to which the University secures students’ confidential and private information.
