A MESSAGE FROM THE
SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND PROVOST

Håfa Adai, Students, Faculty, and Friends of UOG,

I am delighted to extend my warmest greetings as we welcome the new academic year and introduce the 2023-2024 Undergraduate Catalog and Graduate Bulletin. 

At the University of Guam, we take great pride in the prominence of our academic degree programs, which have been meticulously designed to cater to the diverse interests and aspirations of our students in Guam and the rest of the Micronesian region. As we move forward into the new academic year, we are excited to announce innovative new programs like the Master of Accountancy, a certificate in Micronesian traditional navigation, and soon, UOG’s first doctoral program. 

We are also proud to pioneer research that addresses critical global challenges. UOG serves as a beacon of innovation and knowledge creation, fostering a vibrant research community that collaborates across disciplines to tackle issues ranging from climate change and sustainable development to health disparities and social justice. As a student here, you will have the opportunity to actively participate in these research initiatives, gaining invaluable hands-on experience that will shape your future and contribute to the betterment of society.

As we open the doors to the 2023-2024 academic year, we embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Together, as a close-knit community, we will continue to advance the frontiers of knowledge, foster intellectual curiosity, and empower our students to become compassionate and visionary leaders.

Let us embark on this academic journey together, confident in our collective ability to create a brighter and more prosperous future for all.

Si Yu’os Ma’åse’,

Sharleen Santos-Bamba, Ph.D.
Interim Senior Vice President and Provost
