Austin Community College programs are organized into 10 areas of study. The table below lists programs and the lead instructional dean(s) for each study area.<\/p>\n

Lead instructional deans have been identified to assist with the guided pathways implementation. These roles are temporary and do not alter the college’s current dean structure. Over time, the college will transition to a dean structure that more closely aligns with the areas of study and assigned programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
