    Description

    Department Summary


    The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) is the hub of learning, research, and academic excellence at the University of Oregon. Nearly 50 departments and programs represent the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, and the high quality of our programs is the main reason why the University of Oregon is one of only 66 top universities in the prestigious Association of American Universities. Our faculty and advisors work directly with students to help them think analytically, question critically, and communicate clearly about how to find solutions to real-world issues. Our staff and managers play critical and dynamic roles in supporting and advancing the academic mission of the University and of CAS.

    This position is in an Academic Support Unit (ASU), which houses staff, managers, and an Associate Director who provide administrative, strategic, and operations support to multiple academic departments in CAS.

    ASU 8 supports the School of Computer and Data Sciences, the Departments of Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, and Earth Sciences, the research lab, The Oregon Hazards Lab (OHAZ), and the research center, Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (CRESCENT).

    Position Summary


    The Undergraduate Program Coordinator supports undergraduate students within the assigned Academic Support Unit (ASU) and assists the Academic Programs Manager (APM) in administrative tasks and special projects, developing an in-depth knowledge and expertise to consistently coordinate and administer undergraduate program operations, course schedules, and special projects in assigned areas. This position is a primary, day-to-day point of contact for undergraduate majors, responsible for independently communicating with individuals and groups at all levels of the university to research and interpret information.

    This position oversees and coordinates administration of the undergraduate programs within the assigned ASU and provides support to other Undergraduate Program Coordinators within ASU 8.

    Special projects require independent research, analysis, review, and interpretation. The position may initiate and/or propose such projects and studies or be assigned projects from ASU 8 leadership. This position has responsibility for undertaking projects from set-up through completion and has near-exclusive control of many projects.

    Examples of projects include development and refinement of advising procedures, designing and publishing printed and online materials for recruitment purposes, and course schedule development.
