GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY
University System of Georgia
Dean of the College—Search #67259
College of Health and Human Sciences
The College of Health and Human Sciences (CHHS) invites nominations and applications for the position of Dean. Georgia Southern University is a member institution of the University System of Georgia and a Carnegie Doctoral/Research University devoted to academic distinction in teaching, scholarship, and service. At Georgia Southern we provide a culture of engagement that bridges theory with practice, extends the learning environment beyond the classroom, and promotes student growth and life success.
Accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Georgia Southern offers more than 100 academic majors in a comprehensive array of baccalaureate degrees and selected master's and doctoral programs. Academic programs are organized within eight colleges: Business Administration, Education, Health and Human Sciences, the Allen E. Paulson College of Engineering and Information Technology, Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health, Science and Mathematics, and the Jack N. Averitt College of Graduate Studies.
A residential university with enrollment of more than 20,500 students, Georgia Southern is one of Georgia’s premier universities. One of the top choices in Georgia for new freshmen, including HOPE Scholars, Georgia Southern enrolls an increasingly selective student body representing 49 U.S. states and nearly 100 nations. The University continues to enhance its academic profile through higher admission standards, an expanded Honors Program, and scholarships for academically talented students.
Georgia Southern University is committed to advancing the state of Georgia and the region through the benefits of higher education, offering both campus-based and a number of online degree programs. The University fosters access to its educational programs, provides a comprehensive and fulfilling university experience, and enhances quality of life in the region through collaborative relationships supporting education, health care and human services, cultural experiences, scientific and technological advancement, athletics, and regional development.
Our 900 acre park-like campus in Statesboro, Georgia is not far from historic Savannah and Hilton Head Island and provides the benefits of a major university with the feeling of a much smaller college in a classic Main Street community.
Within this setting, the College of Health and Human Sciences provides comprehensive and innovative programs that promote health and quality of life for individuals, families, and communities within a global society. The hallmark of the college is its unique blend of disciplines which foster engaged teaching and learning opportunities, creative and contemporary scholarship, and socially responsive service activities. Faculty and students are empowered to transform the human environment, promote health and quality of life, advance their discipline, and be responsible citizens. CHHS is distinguished by student preparation that extends learning beyond the classroom through service learning, practica, internships, and clinical experiences. The College consists of three schools: Health and Kinesiology, Human Ecology, and Nursing, with 94 faculty and 39 staff. There are 3,186 undergraduate students and 231 graduate students. CHHS has undergraduate and graduate accreditation through the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics; the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Association; the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education; the Council for Interior Design Accreditation; the National Association for the Education of the Young Child; the National Council for the Accreditation of Coaching Education; the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education; and the National Recreation and Parks Association. The College offers a Doctor of Nursing Practice; master’s degrees in Nursing, Athletic Training, Coaching Education, Exercise Science, Physical Education, Sport and Exercise Psychology, Sport Management, and Sports Nutrition; and a Dietetic Internship Certificate. At the undergraduate level, there are degrees in Athletic Training, Child and Family Development, Exercise Science, Fashion Merchandising and Apparel Design, Interior Design, Nursing, Nutrition and Food Science, Recreation, and Sport Management, along with a variety of minors.
