For Directors of Undergraduate Studies
Faculty Directors of Undergraduate Studies serve as primary liasions with students in degree-granting departments, interdisciplinary programs or independent honors programs.
Broadly speaking, a Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) consults and collaborates with faculty colleagues in carrying out oversight for undergraduate education with the support of student service staff.
