Role of Dean and Program Director in Each School

The Dean of the school is the academic leader and administrator who oversees all faculty, programs, students, and processes associated with that respective school. For faculty, the Dean is the point of contact for questions related to the curriculum or intermittent quality checks on classrooms as faculty teach. The Dean decides who teaches in his/her school, what qualifications are needed to teach each course in the school, and how classroom quality checks of faculty are handled. These responsibilities of the Dean may be delegated to the Assistant Dean or Program Director, as decided by the Dean. A job description for the Dean/Program Director, with regards to responsibilities pertaining to faculty, can be found in the Appendices.
