2. SCHOOLS AND DEPARTMENTS within the academic colleges
The list does not include administrative and program units. Tips:
a. Alphabetical order is by field of study, thus “Aeronautics” followed by “Biomedical.”
b. In spelled-out full or short versions of any name, do not interchange “and” with “&.”
c. Retain serial commas that are internal to names where possible.
d. Be wary of “science” vs. “sciences” in unit names.
e. Every academic college homepage has a way to link to its departments/schools.

* Environmental and Ecological Engineering has expressed a preference that first reference will be “Environmental and Ecological Engineering, a standalone academic unit in the College of Engineering” and then references after that will be “EEE,” “academic unit” or “unit.” Officially, it is a division within the college, not within any school or other portion of the college.
