The Academic Program Coordinator serves as a member of a team providing logistical support for programs, instructors, courses, and services offered through the Division of Pre-College and Undergraduate Programs. Annually, these programs offer over 400 courses in a variety of formats and structures (credit and non-credit; on campus, online, and off-site, including international locations; 1-7 weeks and 9 months long), approximately 500 instructors (Brown faculty, graduate students, and visiting instructors) and undergraduate and graduate student teaching associates/assistants, serving approximately 6,000 pre-college and undergraduate students. The team members work under the direction of the Associate Director for Program Support and in support of Program Directors.
