Office of Academic Affairs (home)
Welcome to the Office of Academic Affairs
Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Academic Affairs brings together Faculty Affairs, including the Department Services Team, the Researcher Affairs Team, and FAS Institutional Research, into a single home base of support for faculty and researchers across the FAS. We advise on appointments, promotions, professional development, leaves, and retirement. Together, our teams support all FAS academic departments, centers, and divisions, including the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
