<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">As you know, prospective students place a high priority on information about majors and degrees on university websites. Our prior Degree Search site was developed in 2013 and has
needed a significant revamp for some time. We have been working in earnest to develop a plan to replace Degree Search and improve its content and functionality, initially focusing on 1) adding new features needed by perspective students and 2) maintaining
the current level of service and information for enrolled students. Key participants in planning have included: Enrollment Management, UITS, Curriculum office, Registrar’s office, and the Advising Resource Center. We imagine future phases focused on the needs
specific to enrolled students that would expand planning and prioritization discussions to strategic partners like CAAC, UAAC and advisors.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
