University College
Dr. Evelyn Hodge, Dean
University College (UC) is the university’s unit that is universal regarding its programs and offerings to assist students from the freshmen level to graduation. This academic unit prepares new students for the degree-granting colleges and it assists them with reaching certain academic milestones. Additionally, University College houses the Office of Interdisciplinary Studies which offers the Bachelors of Interdisciplinary Studies that allows students to customize their education for many future job opportunities and become architects of their own future.
Other resources and services in University College include: The Department of Advancement Studies Department, with the Freshmen Experience Program, Learning Support Courses experiences and the Geography Program, W.E.B. Dubois Honors Program-Freshmen to Senior level, courses and activities for the university’s scholars, College Reading Program, TRIO Programs, and University College Tutorial Support Learning Centers. Therefore, University College, through sound pedagogy and best practices, not only helps students transition from high school to college, but it also provides services for students beyond the freshman level to help them have a successful outcome at Alabama State University.
University College works to create successful outcomes for lifelong learning of graduates of the university who become future ambassadors. Therefore, University College’s theme is: Creating Successful Pathways for Lifelong Learning.
