Under the general direction of the Associate Dean of Academic Programs and in partnership with the Programs Team, the Program Services Coordinator performs a variety of administrative duties in support of credit and noncredit programs. This position plays an integral role in the development and ongoing management of educational programs offered by CPaCE, with a strong focus on student services. Responsibilities include serving as a student support specialist for admissions, registration, financial processes, and graduation requirements, as well as responding to general inquiries from prospective and current students.

The program team structure emphasizes flexibility to support both credit and noncredit programs, building capacity across areas to foster growth.
