Section I Mission Statement 2 Section II Instructional Programming INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMMING The University of Michigan, founded in 1817, has a history of nearly 200 years of leadership in education, innovative research, stewardship and service to the State of Michigan. The university consistently ranks in the top ten of public universities in the U.S. according to the U.S. News and World Report, and receives high marks for retention and graduation rates and for the reputation and excellence of many of the undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs offered by the university’s 19 schools and colleges. As a public institution, the university works hard at its mission through teaching, research, and service, set within the framework of various schools, colleges, institutes and centers and through strategic partnerships with public and private institutions in Michigan and beyond. The following information describes various programs that support the core mission of the university and activities that will impact facility needs in the next five years. A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning The University of Michigan offered its first courses in architecture in 1876. The program became a department in 1913, and by 1931, the College of Architecture was established as a separate entity. Today, the college offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in various fields, including architecture, urban planning, and urban design. In 1999, the college was renamed in honor of A. Alfred Taubman, a longtime donor and adviser to the college. In Fall 2013, the Taubman College began a new bachelor’s program that directly admitted a freshman class for the first time. In response to the increase in enrollment and faculty growth and the needs for more modern instructional and studio facilities, the college has identified a need to update instructional space and create on-campus studios to replace off-campus leased space. It is anticipated that, should sufficient donor funding be identified, a small addition to the Art and Architecture Building and a modest renovation of the existing building will address the college’s needs. Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design Education in the arts was first offered as part of architecture and engineering studies at the university. As art evolved as a discipline, the programs were moved out of these colleges and that the School of Art & Design became an autonomous school in 1974. The school was renamed the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in 2012 after receiving a significant donation from Penny and E. Roe Stamps. The school shares the Art and Architecture Building with the A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, where it provides a comprehensive range of baccalaureate and graduate degree programs in art, design, and interarts performance. In 2011, in response to a pressing programmatic need for graduate student and faculty art studios and limited space within the Art and Architecture Building, the university renovated and repurposed an existing university warehouse building for this purpose. This renovation enabled the school to consolidate graduate student and faculty studios into one location and vacate off-campus leased space. The consolidation encourages Section II Instructional Programming 1 collaboration, increases operating efficiencies, and improves the school’s ability to attract prospective graduate students and faculty. Stephen M. Ross School of Business Building on faculty and course offerings that began in the latter part of the nineteenth century, the School of Business Administration was formally established in 1924. Today, at all levels of instruction — bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, and executive education — its programs consistently rank high nationally and internationally. In 2004, Stephen M. Ross made a historic gift to the school, and it was renamed in his honor. The gift supported the construction of a new Ross School of Business academic building, which opened in 2009, and provides state-of- the-art instructional and research space to support the school’s core mission. Stephen M. Ross continued his generous support of the school with another historic gift in 2013. The gift, along with other gifts, will support an additional building project that will create innovative classroom, study, and student and career services spaces for the school and enable it to continue its long-standing history of excellence in business education. School of Dentistry Established in 1875, the School of Dentistry is one of two schools of dentistry in the State of Michigan, and the school is a nationally top-ranked program training professional dentists in oral and craniofacial research. It offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees, as well as certification and continuing education, in a variety of dental fields including dental hygiene, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics,
