The College of Health and Human Services is comprised of over 25 distinct disciplines housed within departments, along with centers, clinics, and institutes on campus. Our faculty and students partner with our community to achieve health and human services priorities and meet current workforce needs. We accomplish our educational mission through interdisciplinary education, practice-based learning, and student access to outstanding faculty educators.

All programs require a strong liberal arts base as a prerequisite to professional course work. In addition to theory-focused courses our degree programs provide opportunities for practice-based experience in community-based clinical training, practicum, and internships. Students have opportunities to engage in meaningful work with patients and clients while acquiring the skills and values of their profession. Faculty members and students learn together and explore how practice, research, and theory interact as they respond to community health and human service issues.
