Carol L. Colbeck is Dean of the Graduate College of Education (GCE) and Professor of Higher Education at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Dr. Colbeck's research investigates how social and organizational contexts shape academic work in four interrelated areas: (1) how faculty integrate teaching, research, and service; (2) how state, institutional, and departmental policies influence the nature and characteristics of faculty work; (3) how faculty teaching and organizational climate affect student learning; and (4) how faculty balance professional and personal responsibilities. Dr. Colbeck has been Principal Investigator or co-Principal Investigator of projects funded by the National Science Foundation, the United States Department of Education, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and the US Marine Corps. Prior to becoming Dean of the GCE at UMass Boston, Dr. Colbeck was Director of the Center for the Study of Higher Education (CSHE) at the Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Colbeck's degrees are all from Stanford University, including a BA in English (with distinction), an MA in Sociology, and a Ph.D. in Education with a focus on Administration and Policy Analysis.
