The Search



Drexel University seeks an experienced, innovative, and strategic leader 
to serve as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences (CoAS).  Reporting 
directly to the Executive Vice President and Provost, the Dean will 
provide visionary leadership to propel CoAS forward and will have 
responsibility for personnel, general administration and management, 
budget, academic and development functions.  This is an exceptional 
opportunity for a creative and collaborative leader to articulate a 
vision for the College, while building on Drexel’s position as one of 
the nation’s leading private, comprehensive, research universities with 
a historical commitment to impactful teaching, research, and 
technological leadership.



Drexel’s historical foundation as an institution committed to solving 
problems in science, industry, business, and the arts, as well as its 
more recent expansion into fields such as medicine, public health, and 
law, has established the University as a global leader in research, 
technology, and experiential learning. Located in the heart of 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Drexel employs over 2,400 faculty members 
and has a total enrollment of approximately 24,000 students. The quality 
of the student experience is a central value, as is its commitment to 
incorporating job experience into university education via its unique 
cooperative education program. Since its founding, Drexel has been 
committed to preparing its students for a rapidly changing workforce. 
Drexel is designated as an R1 Doctoral University in the Carnegie 
Classification of Institutions of Higher Education (one of only 39 
private universities to earn the distinction.). Drexel is consistently 
ranked among the top 100 national research universities in the United 
States by notable publications such as U.S. News and World Report, the 
Wall Street Journal, and Times Higher Education US College Rankings.



The College of Arts and Sciences is foundational to the entire 
University community with departments and programs that involve students 
from all colleges and schools.  Through comprehensive, real-world 
approach to education, CoAS empowers its graduates to respond to the 
world’s most pressing issues, underscoring the importance and value of 
the liberal arts and sciences.  CoAS delivers a time-honoured liberal 
arts education paired with Drexel’s renowned focus on applied learning, 
with research and scholarship that explores contemporary issues with an 
eye toward improving the common good.  CoAS faculty are recognized 
experts who drive discovery and collaboration across diverse disciplines 
in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.  The College 
is home to approximately 290 full-time faculty, 2,140 undergraduates and 
370 graduate students who study across 13 academic departments.  The 
Dean will be expected to foster partnerships within CoAS, with other 
colleges and schools across the Drexel community, and externally in the 
surrounding greater Philadelphia area and beyond.
