Academic Affairs and Records
A university education includes a variety of valuable experiences for you inside and outside the classroom. The central value of a university experience includes superior instruction in the regular courses and classes of the curricula.
For information concerning individual courses and academic components, you should consult the University Undergraduate Catalog or the Graduate Catalog: http://catalog.twu.edu/. Academic deans, component administrators, and instructors of the prospective courses may also be consulted for information or assistance.
The Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs serves as the Chief Academic Officer.
