The Director/Department Chair of the School of First Year Experiences provides comprehensive, integrated leadership across the First Year Experiences (FYE) program. TAMIU's FYE program helps students successfully transition by offering first-year seminar and signature courses that build academic skills, engagement, and a sense of belonging. The director/chair will oversee FYE 1201 and other signature courses, ensuring curricular coherence and integrity, supporting ongoing program development, and advancing student success initiatives central to the first-year experience.

The role also includes leadership and coordination of developmental education in both Mathematics and English, Language Arts, and Reading (ELAR). This work should align closely with state guidelines and expectations, including those established by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and provisions of HB5, ensuring developmental pathways are effective, compliant, and supportive to student success. The Director /Chair will collaborate with academic advisors and other student support personnel to discuss course placement, scheduling, and advising.

COAS is the largest unit on campus with 8 departments, over 130 full-time faculty, and nearly 4,000 students. COAS offers 34 bachelors, 13 masters, and 1 PhD degrees. The School of First Year Experiences is an academic department within COAS, and the school has approximately 11 faculty.
