Dean, College Of Business

Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) seeks a forward-looking and engaging leader to serve as its next Dean of the College of Business.

The College of Business serves approximately 1,300 undergraduate students and 1,400 graduate students across a range of in-person and online academic programs. The College of Business has 53 full-time faculty (51 tenured or tenure-track faculty) and numerous part-time adjunct faculty. Programs are spread across three academic departments : Accounting, Finance, and Business Law; Decision Sciences and Economics; and Management and Marketing. The College's business and accounting programs are accredited through the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Both programs had their accreditation reaffirmed in 2024.

TAMU-CC is a vibrant, relatively young doctoral granting university and Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI). With approximately 11,000 students from 47 states and 54 foreign nations and 1,318 faculty and staff, it combines a heritage of teaching excellence with innovation in research and community engagement. TAMU-CC possesses the key elements to support its move to the next level among its peers as a major Hispanic-serving research university. In late 2018, TAMU-CC achieved R2 Doctoral University-High Research Activity classification by the Carnegie Commission of Higher Education, which further promotes the University's culture of innovation and research.

The next Dean will be expected to help advance the long-term goals of the College, including growing enrollment, ensuring strong and innovative academic programs, advancing student success, supporting faculty and staff, and building connections and programs that positively impact the Coastal Bend region and beyond. The successful candidate must have a terminal degree appropriate to the College from a regionally accredited university and academic credentials commensurate with the appointment to the rank of full professor. This individual must also have a record of significant administrative experience in a higher education setting, including supervisory experience.
