It is capitalized at the beginning of the sentence or when it forms part of the proper noun or when it precedes a person's name or when it is used as a direct address.

A proper noun is the name or title of a specific person, place, or thing.

When the noun 'dean' is the name or title of a specific person, it is a proper noun and it is capitalized; for example, James Dean (American movie actor) or Dean Vassilios Papadopoulos, USC School of Pharmacy.

The noun 'dean' is a common noun as a general word for the head of a college or university faculty or department; a general word for the leader or senior member of a group. A common noun is capitalized only when it's the first word in a sentence.

The word Dean is capitalized if it has a name following it. If in a sentence referring to a specific dean, it's good to capitalize it. Especially if you are writing to your own Dean. And then, if it's a person's name. Dean Freedlander, M.D.
