From the Founding Dean:
With great pleasure, I welcome you to the School of Health & Human Sciences (SHHS). The School of Health & Human Sciences capitalizes on its unique urban location and inter-professional collaboration among educators, community partners, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to prepare future leaders in healthcare, kinesiology, and event tourism. Through innovative research, experiential learning, and community engagement, this school strives to prepare leaders to transform human experience and quality of life.
SHHS brings together eight academic programs (Health Sciences, Kinesiology, Military Science, Nutrition & Dietetics, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant Studies, and Tourism, Event & Sport Management), multiple institutes, outreach clinics, and research laboratories that together provide you with unique experiences for your future careers. Several of our programs are nationally ranked.
Our faculty members are leaders in the fields of health, tourism, and sports. SHHS faculty worked with national organizations, state, and federal governments in research and education initiatives. They are researchers that translate scientific discoveries into clinical care, tourism, and sports. They remain focused on that task so future generations can live healthier lives.
Our ideals, partnerships, and unique opportunities enable each of us to live up to the mission of SHHS. We look forward to supporting the personal and professional growth of our undergraduate and graduate students, as well as our faculty and staff.
Best Regards,
Rafael Bahamonde, Ph.D.
Founding Dean
