Dean, College of Health Professions

Texas State University invites nominations, applications, and expressions of interest in its search for the next dean of the College of Health Professions. The university seeks a collaborative, collegial, and visionary leader with a demonstrated ability to work across a diverse set of health science disciplines.

The College of Health Professions prepares students for careers in the healthcare field. Through its professional, technical, clinical, and academic programs, the college serves as an advocate for change and improvement in the field of healthcare services. The college also serves as a catalyst to expand and improve public perceptions of healthcare in the community. The college has 2,934 undergraduate students, 264 master's students, 126 doctoral students, 103 full-time faculty, and 36 staff. Almost 1,800 affiliation agreements are maintained to provide clinicals, internships, and field experiences for the students. In addition to these academic units, the college also encompasses a specialized computer lab, the Institute of Texas Long Term Care, clinics for Physical Therapy and Speech Language Hearing, and the Ascension Seton Williamson Sleep Center.

The College of Health Professions offers programs at the university's newest campus in Round Rock, located just north of Austin, and the San Marcos Campus, where the central administration of the university is housed. As both campuses are located in the Austin Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) - one of the fastest growing in the country - there is significant potential for the college and the next dean to leverage opportunities these locations present.
