Welcome to the College of Health and Human Sciences!
I invite you to explore our website to get an idea of who we are. Our website is designed to help you learn and explore the many opportunities available to our students, faculty, staff, and our communities. You also will discover the impact that our College has within the university, our state, as well as in our local community.
We work hard to ensure that our students find welcoming learning environments that not only educate them, but also challenge them to be top notch graduate/professional students and/or practitioners in health and human service fields. Our graduates are nurses in all types of in-patient and out-patient settings. Our graduates are social workers working with teenage mothers, as well as with people young and old who face challenges of all types. Our graduates are public health professionals working with high risk behavior individuals to reduce and control HIV. Our graduates are leaders in progressive child care and state of the art criminal justice programs. Our faculty are accomplished researchers and practitioners in a myriad of health and human services fields, and are exceptionally qualified to pass their knowledge on to our students. Our faculty provide exemplary drug and alcohol prevention and treatment throughout the west. They are involved in exercise and health; they are leaders in health care ethics and policy; they provide cutting edge programs for children, adolescents, and families of all kinds as well as our burgeoning aging population in Nevada and throughout the country.
During the summer and fall of 2005, our faculty clarified the philosophical orientation and framework of our College with the development of our Building a Healthy Nevada initiative. This exciting initiative will direct our future College directions and will help us to forge new collaborations with other Colleges on campus and within our state and local communities.
