DUS Resources

Directors of undergraduate studies (DUS) are faculty members appointed by the chairs of the academic unit in which they hold their primary appointment. Their responsibilities vary, depending on the size and complexity of the undergraduate programs they administer. In general, they manage and provide oversight of all elements of the undergraduate curriculum and programs in their department.

All DUS typically meet 3 times each academic year. Staff in Office of Undergraduate Curricula provide support for each meeting.
