Welcome to Academic Affairs

The Division of Academic Affairs is responsible for meeting the mission of the University of Colorado Boulder to serve as the state’s comprehensive graduate research university with selective admission standards, offering a comprehensive array of undergraduate, master’s and doctoral degree programs. We accomplish that mission through the vision that the University of Colorado Boulder be a leader in identifying and addressing the humanitarian, social and technological challenges of the 21st century. 

Within the division, the Office of Academic Planning and Assessment engages in academic planning, accreditation and assessment and oversees student success initiatives. The Office of Academic Resource Management develops academic resource strategy and analysis in support of the university’s mission. Central to the support of the academic mission is the recruitment, retention and development of faculty, a process managed by the Office of Faculty Affairs. 

The Research and Innovation Office creates global impact in research, innovation, scholarship and creative work by cultivating and supporting collaboration, transformation and leadership, and the Division of Student Affairs provides the programs, services and resources that support student well-being and academic and co-curricular success. 

Our colleges and schools offer a wide range of world-class academic and enrichment opportunities, and The Graduate School works to promote academic excellence, advocates on behalf of graduate students, and fosters community across all graduate programs. The Office of Undergraduate Education oversees the academic undergraduate experience and collaborates with other units to ensure that students have access to the resources they need to succeed.
