University of Miami Looking for Dean, Patti and Allan Herbert Business School Full Time

Search for the Dean

University of Miami Patti and
Allan Herbert Business School

Miami, FL

The University of Miami (UM), a
vibrant and diverse comprehensive research university focused on the discovery of new knowledge, teaching and learning, and service to the
South Florida region and beyond, seeks a visionary, collaborative, and passionate leader to serve as Dean of the Patti and Allan Herbert
Business School. As the university approaches its centennial, the Dean will provide an ambitious vision for the Miami Herbert Business
School (MHBS) at a historic and transformational moment in UM’s history.

Founded in 1925, UM has evolved from a teaching
university to a world-class research institution that today ranks as the #1 private university in the state of Florida (USNWR, 2023) and is
classified as Very High Research Activity (Research 1) by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. In recognition of
its place among leading research universities in the country, with over $410 million in research and sponsored program expenditures in 2022,
UM was recently invited to join the Association of American Universities. The university also boasts South Florida’s only academic
health system and a growing innovation ecosystem tied to one of the world’s most dynamic and diverse metropolitan areas. Over 18,000
faculty and staff provide a robust educational experience to nearly 20,000 students from across the country and around the world studying
within 12 colleges and schools offering more than 350 majors and programs. The university ranks 55^th in the latest US News &
World Report list of the nation’s top universities, and many of its graduate programs also rank among the nation’s best,
including several at MHBS. As UM approaches its centennial in 2025, it has prioritized mission-driven research, education for life, a
preeminent academic health system, sustainability, hemispheric leadership, and academic excellence. In close collaboration with the
university’s senior leadership team, the Dean of MHBS will play a critical role in the implementation of strategic, transformative
initiatives that will push these priorities forward.

Miami Herbert Business School is widely recognized for its leadership in
fostering global mindsets and multicultural understanding, student and faculty diversity, and engagement with the business community. In
recent surveys, the school ranked as the #1 MBA school in the world for teaching law (Financial Times, 2022); #28 for
undergraduate programs (Poets&Quants, 2023); #49 for its full-time MBA (Financial Times, 2022); and #7 for business school diversity
(Bloomberg Businessweek, 2021). The quality and strength of the school’s programs and faculty are illustrated further by the
school’s “triple crown” accreditation status achieved by less than one percent of the world’s business schools and
held by only three business schools in the nation. The next Dean will build upon these existing strengths to grow and differentiate the
school’s global and international reputation by incentivizing the creation of cutting-edge academic programming, bolstering the
support for groundbreaking faculty research and collaborations, and further integrating MHBS into the local and global business ecosystem to
expand opportunities for both student collaboration and financial support for the school. Reporting to the Provost and Executive Vice
President for Academic Affairs, the next Dean will serve as the chief academic and administrative officer of MHBS and lead 163 full-time
faculty in service to 4,200 total students.
