<p>May 29, 2008: The University of Texas at Austin Establishes New School of Undergraduate Studies

[quote]
AUSTIN, Texas — The University of Texas at Austin has established a new School of Undergraduate Studies as a college-level academic unit reporting to the executive vice president and provost.</p>

<p>The School of Undergraduate Studies will be led by Professor Paul B. Woodruff, who became inaugural dean of undergraduate studies in fall 2006. It will be the initial home for students who choose not to select another college or school before the beginning of the first year and for those who are admitted to the university but not into the majors they have chosen. The school will offer special advising resources to help new students explore potential majors before making a selection and to support continuing students who are considering a change of major.</p>

<p>The School of Undergraduate Studies will accept its first cohort of students in fall 2009.

<p>Woodruff is the former head of Plan II, and from everything I’ve ever heard a complete class act. This is part of the university’s plan to make the undergrad experience more individual. There are “signature courses” which are smaller sections, and this is part of the experience.</p>

<p>Perhaps a lot of what makes Plan II great will spill over into the new UGS school.</p>
