- Rice School of Humanities: https://humanities.rice.edu/academics 8 Departments, 4 Centers, 8 programs. (better example of a structure)
- Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences: https://humsci.stanford.edu/academics-research 23 Departments, 23 programs (might not be a good comparison for structure)
- KU Lawrence College of Liberal Arts and Sciences: http://college.ku.edu/departments Departments, Schools, Research Centers (mix of matrix and vertical model, particularly School of Languages, School of the Arts)
- Dartmouth: http://home.dartmouth.edu/education/departments-programs-arts-sciences DEPARTMENTS, PROGRAMS, SCHOOLS. Mix of matrix and vertical model.
- Dartmouth Thayer School of Engineering: https://engineering.dartmouth.edu/about/dartmouth-difference NO DEPARTMENTS
- Purdue: https://www.cla.purdue.edu/academic/index.html Colleges (schools within colleges), Schools (programs within schools), Departments (divisions within departments). 11 Departments, 13 interdisciplinary programs.
Chairs/Directors still exist at many of these institutions and perform similar functions. Rice has the biggest structural blend, followed by KU and Purdue. Stanford was selected because of its size, and Dartmouth because the Chancellor suggested it.
To note, most, if not all, of these institutions have programs in WGSS and Africana-Studies (coincidentally) and are organized around research centers. SIU has research centers in the humanities, however, the units where the centers reside are not organized around the centers in the same way as these other institutions. This is common across units. I have attached a text from the National Academies of Science, Medicine, and Engineering that outlines the matrix or orthogonal structures at STEM institutions. Chapter 9 is the most relevant to our interests.
