The provost works with several FIU departments and leaders to ensure the university provides a world-class education, produces meaningful research and innovations and supports faculty development initiatives.
Academic Integrity
The Office of the Provost is responsible for maintaining academic policy and providing guidance on issues of academic integrity. The office ensures the university has the training, tools and support to fulfill individual and institutional academic goals with the highest level of integrity.
Program Proposals
New programs allow the university to maintain a position of intellectual leadership and keep up with the ever-evolving educational landscape. Ideas for new degrees, certificates and other programs often develop in response to the emergence of new fields or advancements in existing ones. They provide opportunities for the creation of innovative interdisciplinary programs.
