Academic Affairs

The Office of Academic Affairs (“OAA”) ensures the integrity and growth of all programs across the Touro network. 

The OAA works closely with Touro’s to develop, evaluate, and strengthen our academic and professional offerings. They seek out and bring the most qualified and experienced faculty to our campuses. Ensuring that Touro remains a respectful and safe environment where all students, staff, and faculty feel welcome and engaged, the OAA also updates and implements college policies and procedures.
