The next dean will have the opportunity to guide a community of dedicated and talented faculty, staff and students. As the school’s chief academic and administrative officer, the dean oversees ten undergraduate programs and two graduate degrees. The school is comprised of five departments, 47 full-time faculty, 17 full-time staff (including an associate and assistant dean), and approximately 70 part-time faculty, 1,400 undergraduate students, and 75 graduate students. Reporting to the Provost/Dean of faculty, the Dean is responsible for developing and implementing programs that bring students and distinction to Marist. The ideal candidate will have experience in the academic community, although candidates with distinguished careers in the fields of communication or the arts will be carefully considered. Successful candidates will also be alert to the changing landscape in higher education, eager to embrace Marist’s signature commitment to merging the liberal arts with preprofessional programs, possess an understanding of and an appreciation for creative works and the realities of the communications industries, and be keen to engage the challenges and satisfaction that comes in working with students from varying backgrounds.

Further, the new dean will be dedicated to the assessment of student learning and possess an unwavering commitment to student success. A terminal degree in a relevant field or comparable outstanding achievement in the private sector is required.
