the UTD faculty earned a Web of Science, InCites, Normalized

Value” by Kiplinger and Princeton Review,
and a number of its degree programs are highly ranked within their
academic domains.
Reporting to the President, the Vice President of Academic Affairs
and Provost serves as the University’s Chief Academic Officer, with
responsibility for all academic programs as well as the
