Academic Affairs
Welcome to the Division of Academic Affairs
The Division of Academic Affairs oversees all operations of the Academic Branch and provides leadership for administrative and academic programs. Academic Affairs is responsible for helping students and faculty achieve their academic and professional goals.
Led by the Vice President, the Division of Academic Affairs' major responsibilities include academic planning, programs, support services, policy, budgets, and faculty affairs. In addition, the Division provides oversight of academic governance, appointments, advancements, research of administrative support and compliance, and production of the College’s catalog and courses.
Along with the academic deans, directors, and department heads, Academic Affairs administers existing programs, reviews and revises programs, and develops new programs. The Division facilitates academic policies, procedures and standards for students and faculty.
Academic Freedom
Hudson County Community College recognizes high quality, diversity, and adaptability to new ideas among its tenured faculty and has confidence that such characteristics can be retained and advanced through proper use of in-service training, and promotion policies, coupled with fair and humane working conditions.
Continuous appointment of a significant proportion of the College's faculty provides continuity of educational leadership, fosters institutional and community loyalty and participation, and affords the protection of academic freedom.
