The university is often divided into colleges or schools such as education, nursing, engineering, agriculture, etc. Each college has a dean which is like the CEO of a business. They are in charge of the schools or colleges. Right under the dean are the program chairs. The university structure is: the president, the vice presidents, the deans and the program chairs.
The dean is like the CEO of a business ... I could not have put it better!

An academic dean is an educational administrator who serves as the head of a school within a college or university. Academic deans provide vision and direction to their school. They are responsible for guiding and directing the school's faculty, and they represent the school, its students, and its faculty to the campus as a whole.
In most institutions, academic deans answer to a vice president or provost, although in some schools a dean might work directly under the president. Academic deans are generally in charge of department chairs and faculty. An academic dean is typically assisted by associate and assistant deans and support staff who work in areas such as outreach, development, and student services.

Deans are academic leaders who have academic, programmatic, managerial, and fiscal responsibilities for a school. Deans verify the adequacy of instruction, monitor academic integrity, confer degrees, and are responsible for student recruitment, admission, and academic progress.

Dean is a title employed in academic administrations such as colleges or universities for a person with significant authority over a specific academic unit, over a specific area of concern, or both. Deans are common in private preparatory schools, and occasionally found in middle schools and high schools as well.
a dean is typically the head of a faculty, which may include several academic departments. Typical positions include Dean of Arts, Dean of Engineering, Dean of Science and Dean of Business. Many universities also have a Dean of Graduate Studies, responsible for work at the postgraduate level in all parts of the university.
