How it Works
CECS is both a college and a central office that serves other colleges. CECS allows colleges to expand their programming through the development of new majors and minors that draw from expertise across campus. CECS leadership assesses proposals for topics from across campus and serves as an incubator for new courses and programs. In addition, CECS provides support for faculty and connects them to faculty with similar interests across campus. CECS provides extensive coordination among multiple academic units by anticipating and identifying resource needs to create and sustain new programs.
