Welcome
As the Dean of the College of Nursing and Health Professions, I would like to thank you for visiting our home page. If you are interested in a health profession, you will find that we have a variety of associate, baccalaureate and master's degrees options in major occupational areas.
Each of these degree programs have a moderate to very high market demand which generates much student interest. All of our programs have specific admission criteria for entry, are nationally accredited, and contain both classroom and clinical course work as requirements for the degree.
The College of Nursing and Health Professions houses classrooms and simulated laboratories for all of our disciplines. The college utilizes compressed video classrooms and other distance learning technologies where nursing and health professions education is delivered to several separate off-campus sites. The college is clinically affiliated with over 400 health facilities across the region with additional sites contracted on a regular basis. These settings include departments in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, public school systems, outpatient facilities, sports health agencies, extended care facilities, private practice clinics, industrial settings, wellness clinics, health maintenance organizations and government agencies to name only a few.
Students are able to participate in student and professional organizations affiliated with each discipline. There are opportunities to develop and implement health related projects on campus as well as provide service to the community. The Dean's Student Advisory Council comprises an interdisciplinary group of students who work on behalf of the college.
The faculty and staff in our college are collegial and industrious. Students will find a diverse array of academic and specialization credentials among our faculty and staff as well as scholarly activity and a high level of university, professional and community service.
I invite you to learn more about our college as you continue to explore our web page. Please do not hesitate to contact an individual in your area of interest for more information. Best of luck in your educational endeavors!
