List of Centers, Institutes and Center-like Units
This list includes centers and center-like units (institutes, laboratories, etc.) that have been approved by the UAPC. This list was first compiled in 1993 for the UAPC as the official centers list by then dean of the Graduate School, John Wiley. It is updated periodically to include changes approved by the UAPC. Centers are listed alphabetically by school and college. See guidelines for establishing, renaming, reorganizing, or discontinuing centers and institutes.
