Academic Deans' Minutes RG.05.01.14
Historical Note
The Academic Deans are the heads of the numerous colleges of Ball State University. In 1961, the
university’s programs were grouped as three divisions (Fine and Applied Arts, Sciences and Humanities
and Education), each with a divisional dean to oversee them. In 1964, these divisions became colleges,
and as the university and the number of colleges grew, there came to be Institutional Deans over each
of the colleges, whom were later called Academic Deans. Colleges today include: Applied Sciences and
Technology, Architecture and Planning, Miller College of Business, Communication, Information and
Media, Fine Arts, Sciences and Humanities, and Teachers. The deans of these colleges report directly to
the Provost.
