Department Chair - Online Prelicensure Nursing

To participate in a remote work arrangement, employees must reside in the United States. No remote work arrangement will be considered for working from outside the United States.

The Department Chair is responsible for providing leadership to faculty, students, and Program Chairs who oversee ASN, BSN, and Master’s Direct Entry programs of study at Herzing University. Department Chairs have one or more Program Chairs as direct reports, in some locations, faculty may report directly to the Department Chair.

As a member of the campus-based academic leadership team, the Department Chair serves in both a tactical and strategic capacity. The tactical leadership responsibilities include hiring, training, developing and evaluating staff, and potentially faculty, and supervision of both faculty and staff, but extends to programmatic management as well. This may include data collection, analysis and reporting.

The Department Chair actively participates in new student orientation, contributes to various committees, and contributes to faculty and staff training. As an academic leader, the Department Chair plays a visible role for our students as well. This can include provision of student advising, resolution of student complaints, and/or intervention when student engagement or academic progress is in question.
