Leading excellence in teaching, learning, and scholarship.
Academic Affairs at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota advances excellence in teaching, learning, and scholarship. Our academic leadership provides strategic oversight for the university’s academic enterprise, including academic planning and budgeting, faculty recruitment and development, program evaluation, assessment of student learning, academic policies and standards, and university accreditation and compliance.
Academic Leadership
Academic Affairs is led by Dr. Julie Furst-Bowe, vice president for Academic Affairs, who oversees the College and the Schools of Graduate and Professional Programs.
The College, based on the Winona Campus, offers the traditional residential undergraduate experience, Bachelor of Arts programs, and the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The Schools of Graduate and Professional Programs, based on the Minneapolis Campus, offer online bachelor degree programs and graduate programs, delivered primarily online or on the Minneapolis or Rochester campuses.
