“The Office of Academic Innovation at Texas State University advances the university’s commitment to academic excellence by fostering transformative teaching, learning, and research experiences. We ensure curricular quality by overseeing program accreditation, assessment, general education, catalog management, and all curricular processes, as well as coordinating commencement. At the same time, we champion innovation in the development of new academic pathways, the integration of emerging, immersive, and creative technologies, and the expansion of micro-credential and lifelong learning opportunities. By leveraging data-driven insights, collaborative partnerships, and forward-thinking initiatives, we empower faculty, staff, and students to reimagine education, drive student success, and position Texas State as a leader in academic innovation, creativity, and discovery.”
