In alignment with the University and the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics (DIA), The Office of Academic Excellence (OAE) provides strategic programming and services that promote degree attainment and holistic student-athlete development. OAE supports the unique needs of each student-athlete by providing services in the areas of academic support, academic advising, student-athlete development, and student services. Our student-centered approach empowers student-athletes to maximize their educational experience while developing as independent, self-reliant and successful young adults.
