The Office of the Senior Associate Provost exists to extend and facilitate the work of the Office of the Provost. The senior associate provost serves as a resource to Deans, faculty and students, answering questions about academic procedures or connecting students or faculty with relevant services to help them use Biola’s systems in order to do what God has called them to Biola to accomplish.

Tamara Anderson, who holds a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, serves the university as the senior associate provost.

Note: Senior Associate Provost and Vice Provost are interchangeable titles. Senior Associate Provost is the more current usage, but some documentation still refers to this office using the Vice Provost title.
