Titles for Heads of Academic Programs

The head of an academic program in the college -- a degree, minor, or certificate -- has the title "director". A few programs have co-directors. The head of a concentration within a degree program has the title "concentration head".

You can change the director of an academic program or head of a concentration if the program or concentration has your site as its originating site. If you are unable to edit a program, contact the editors of the originating site or contact CHSSWeb.
