Under the leadership of Provost Mary Jones, Ph.D., the Office of Academic Affairs coordinates and supports the work of all the academic programs and services of Southern Nazarene University administered from five academic colleges: Colleges of Business, Education and Kinesiology; College of Humanities; College of Natural, Social and Health Sciences; College of Teaching and Learning; and College of Professional and Graduate Studies. Also included in the administration of this office is institutional research, assessment, and library services.

Academic Affairs relates directly to the mission of SNU as we educate students to think with clarity, act with integrity, and serve with purpose within the educational context of the liberal arts, selected professional and graduate studies, a Wesleyan-holiness theological perspective, and a cross-cultural community life.
