An associate dean is a senior administrative position in an educational institution, typically within a college or university. The associate dean works alongside the dean and other administrators to oversee specific academic departments, programs, or initiatives.
The role of an associate dean may vary depending on the institution's organizational structure. In some cases, associate deans may be responsible for overseeing undergraduate or graduate programs within a particular academic division. They may also be tasked with student affairs, faculty development, or curriculum design.
Associate deans often collaborate with faculty, staff, and students to enhance the overall educational experience, promote academic excellence, and address administrative matters related to their designated areas of responsibility.
In the absence of the dean, associate deans may assume some of the dean's responsibilities and act as representatives of the college or university.
