School of Health & Human Services
Welcome to the School of Health and Human Services!
School Statement
The School of Health and Human Services is dedicated to preparing learners to work effectively as caring professionals on health care teams and in human service agencies. We offer a broad range of certificate and diploma level programs, a Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing, and continuing education courses and programs.
Our programs are designed to ensure that learners master the theory and skills necessary for caring, safe and effective practice. A variety of clinics and agencies become the “living laboratories” where supervised practice encourages learners to develop the values and competencies required for health and human service positions.
We are assisted by program advisory committees to maintain the high standards necessary for accreditation by licensing agencies, and to promote employment of graduates. Provision is also made for graduates to transfer with advanced standing into related health and human service programs or to pursue further education at the university level.
We use principles of adult education, see ourselves as partners in the learning process, evaluate performance against well defined learning outcomes and incorporate appropriate educational technology into all courses and programs. We promote the full personal and professional development of each learner for the mutual benefit of the individual and the society in which we live.
In the School of Health and Human Services we are: Learning for Practice, Learning for Change.
