College of Science Dean Kevin Carman is one of four candidates selected as finalists for the provost position at Montana State University, according to a report by the Bozeman Daily Chronicle in Bozeman, Mont.
The search committee there announced finalists for the position after reviewing 72 applications.
If selected, Carman would also serve as MSU’s vice president for academic affairs. This position oversees teaching issues and the general fund budget. The provost is also put in charge during the president’s absence, the report explained.
Carman will visit MSU’s Bozeman campus Sept. 15 and 16 to meet with students, faculty, staff and administrators. Each candidate must also conduct a campus and community forum, according to the MSU News Service.
Carman has taught at the University for more than 20 years and has served as dean of the College of Science for about six years. He was unavailable for comment Tuesday.
The selected finalist will be announced within the next two months.
