Dean's Welcome

Our programs prepare students for careers in health, exercise science, nursing, communication disorders, coaching, athletic training, K-12 teaching, and others. Many of our graduates enter medical school, teach abroad, begin private practices and devote their talents and energies in various ways to making the world a better place.

All of our programs are based on a solid foundation in the liberal arts and sciences. That foundation, coupled with the specific professional preparation you will receive in our programs, will serve you well in whatever path you take in life.

Thank you for visiting our site and taking the first step on your journey! As the Dean of the School, I look forward to meeting you. Please contact me directly if I can assist you in any way.
