Did you know:

  • Program of Study - Program of Study is an educational objective, such as a History Major for which students can achieve a Bachelor of Arts degree or a Biology Major for which a student can achieve a Bachelor of Science degree at the institution. Each program of study is specific to the level of an academic unit.
    •  Remember the Academic Unit is a Workday organization type that represents a school, college, university, or another unit of the institution. These units can recruit prospective students, admit students, offer programs of study or courses, or administer financial aid. Academic units are also used with academic appointments in Workday.

Tip:
