Dean Undergraduate School of Business

The University of Maine seeks an entrepreneurial and innovative Dean to lead its Undergraduate School of Business, a major component of the Maine Business School, based at UMaine's flagship campus in Orono, Maine. This Dean will have the opportunity to enhance existing areas of excellence in undergraduate education and research, foster new collaborations within and outside of the Maine Business School, and continue to grow enrollment, sources of support for the School, and experiential learning opportunities for students.

The Maine Business School is ranked by US News and World Report among the nation's best and has been fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International) since 1974 (an accreditation held by less than 6% of business schools worldwide). Current enrollment of 1199 undergraduates, 96 MBA students and 28 certificate students represent an all-time high total, and student credit hours taught are also at peak level. In recent years, about 50% of undergraduate majors have been from out-of-state. MBS is also proud of improvements in its 4-year graduation rate, to a current level of 57%.

The undergraduate programs of MBS include a 4-year Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with majors in: accounting, finance, management, and marketing, as well as concentrations in international business, management information systems and entrepreneurship. MBS also offers minors in business administration, accounting, management and marketing for non-majors.
