These three divisions report to the Vice-Provost and are in charge of the undergraduate programs. In a micro-level, the University is divided in "academies". Each academy is in charge of offering the lectures for the undergraduate program. The academies report to head of division. The academies are:
- Mathematics
- Sciences
- English
