Faculty and Courses

The School of Health and Human Services, established in 1968, was created in response to the growing need for programs in higher education that prepare young men and women for health-related careers. The school offers undergraduate instruction leading to the bachelor of science degree in communication sciences and disorders, family studies, health management and policy, kinesiology, nursing, occupational therapy, and recreation management and policy. It also offers undergraduate instruction leading to a bachelor of arts degree in social work. Each program enables students to acquire the basic knowledge and skills needed to practice their chosen professions and to obtain a broad cultural background in the humanities and social sciences.
