LSU Establishes School of Collaborative Academic Programs
LSU recently established the School of Collaborative Academic Programs, which is a multi-college, interdisciplinary and cutting-edge program bridging faculty expertise across disciplines to offer cross-disciplinary curriculums to undergraduate and graduate students. The program involves deep integration across disciplinary boundaries and requires the convergence of knowledge that utilizes the strengths of more than one school or college to address the exceptionally complex problems of the human condition.
The school, housed in the Office of Academic Affairs, will operate under the executive leadership of a program director who will partner with deans from three of the academic colleges. The school will be governed by its policy committee, which includes representation from all of the academic disciplinary colleges on campus. The school is currently seeking applications for the program director position. Find a full job description for the faculty program director here. Individuals are encouraged to nominate candidates or self-nominate for the position. The program will soon be accepting proposals for courses and degree.
