"Dean, College of Business"

Texas A&M University-San Antonio (A&M-SA) seeks a forward-looking, student-centered leader to serve as its next Dean of the College of Business.

The Dean reports directly to the Provost and provides strong leadership and direction to a robust college of approximately 39 full-time faculty members in two departments: Accounting & Finance and Management & Marketing. In 2023, the College was awarded AACSB accreditation and also moved into a new $53 million building that is shared with the University's library. The next Dean will need to work closely with faculty, staff, and University leadership to ensure high-quality, relevant academic programs that prepare students for successful careers and further economic development within San Antonio and the region. This individual must be able to build strong relationships with business, industry, and community partners to understand their needs and identify opportunities for collaboration. The College sits in a young, dynamic university, requiring a Dean with an entrepreneurial spirit and a strategic mindset.

A&M-SA was formally established as a standalone institution in 2009. Between May 2009 and fall 2017, A&M-SA's enrollment grew more than 340%. Designated a Hispanic-Serving Institution in 2017, the University currently serves over 8,000 students and has graduated more than 18,000 alumni. The student body is 66% female, 77% Hispanic, and approximately 60% of students are the first in their family to attend college. Through the University's 39 undergraduate and 23 graduate degree programs, students can pursue a wide variety of in-demand fields. The College of Business offers degree programs in highly desirable fields, including management, accounting, information systems, and finance. A&M-SA prepares and empowers students with knowledge and marketable skills that prepare them for rewarding careers, responsible global citizenship, and lifelong learning. As one of the fastest-growing universities in the Texas A&M System and the only A&M institution of higher learning in a major metropolitan area, A&M-SA is quickly expanding to fill its nearly 700-acre campus.
