College Council
All academic policy decisions for the Dietrich College are made by the College Council, which is made up of the dean, associate deans, department heads, faculty/staff representatives, and three student representatives: one graduate student and two undergraduate. In Fall 2021, Dietrich College launched the new General Education Program, which has been a major project for the College Council.
