Colleges of Business and Education
The Tennessee Board of Regents and the Tennessee Higher Education Commission recently approved Austin Peay’s plan to re-create its colleges of Business and Education. We expect to have the new colleges in place by the fall of 2009. Their deans will help to lead these important academic divisions forward. In particular, the dean of the college of Business will have the exciting challenge of leading our business faculty toward the ultimate accreditation of our business programs. And the dean of the college of education will help to keep our education faculty and students plugged in to the very important developments in education happening in Tennessee. The college of Professional Programs and Social Sciences will become the college of Behavioral and Health Sciences and its current dean, Dr. David Denton, will continue forward as dean of the new college. In fact, Dr. Denton is chiefly responsible for the new organization, which he planned and for which he obtained approval while he served as interim provost of Austin Peay.
