The Duke University Undergraduate Faculty Council of Arts and Sciences (UFCAS), established in 1971, guided undergraduate education in arts and sciences, adopted academic regulations and admissions policies, advised on financial aid and recognized academic achievement. It succeeded the Undergraduate Faculty Council after the body no longer included representatives from the engineering and nursing schools. Council membership consisted of the president, provost, dean of the undergraduate college, and elected members of the faculties of the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. The dean presided at meetings, while a member of the faculty was elected chair of the Executive Committee.

Most of Council's work was done through its standing and ad hoc committees, which included: Curriculum, Courses of Instruction, Honors, Study Abroad, Program II, Academic Standards, Advising, Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid, Residential Life, Freshman Year, Advanced Placement, Athletics and Recreation, Health Science Education, and Non-western Studies. In 1991, UFCAS voted to disband and reorganize as the Arts and Sciences Council.
