Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit

The College of Arts & Sciences, administered by the Dean, consists of seventy-one academic departments, curricula, programs, centers, and Institutes. The College is divided into seven divisions, which are overseen by Senior Associate Deans. All academic departments and curricula are assigned to one of the following three divisions Fine Arts and Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Science. A fourth division, Undergraduate Education, houses curriculum and instructional innovation, honors and distinguished scholarships, and student academic support. These Senior Associate Deans, along with the Senior Associate Dean for Operations and Strategy, Senior Associate Dean for Research and Innovation, Senior Associate Dean for Development, and the Director of Communications for the College, all report to the Dean.

During its 200+ year history, the College has grown and thrived and is now numbering almost 1,000 faculty, 600 staff, teaching over 16,600 undergraduate and 2,400 graduate students with annual expenditures of $345M. Eighty-one percent of UNC-Chapel Hill undergraduate students choose a major in the College. Eighty-seven percent of the credit hours are taught in the College and there are around fifty different undergraduate degrees offered.

The College’s Division of Operations, led by the Senior Associate Dean for Operations and Strategy, comprise nearly 70 staff and include the offices of Finance and Budget Management, Human Resources, Information Technology and Data Analytics, Facilities, and Dean’s Office administration.

The College of Arts & Sciences HR Shared Services Center enhances operations of many of its departments, curricula, and programs by consolidating their individual business operations into one Shared Services Center. As a single unit, it provides more consistency in the application of policies and increases operational effectiveness. This consolidation of individual business operations allows for more effective training of human resources staff and provide efficiencies for the central HR offices.
