Academic Programs
ACAC's advisors help students connect their campus experience to future careers all while guiding them through timely degree completion.
Through assessment and program review, faculty reflect on successes and challenges and set actionable, measurable goals for improvement. These processes help to ensure the quality, meaning, and integrity of a Cal Poly Humboldt degree.

Curriculum evaluates and responds to assigned course and degree change proposals using specific decision making criteria and university policy.
Graduate Students are supported by many faculty and staff across campus, most notably, their academic departments and the Office of Graduate Studies.
