SHPS is the academic home to four graduate (i.e., Master of Science in Anesthesia, Master of Science in Nursing, Master of Science in Health Education, and Doctor of Physical Therapy) and six undergraduate (i.e., Health Science, Health Care Administration, Health Education, Medical Technology, Nursing, and Radiation Therapy) degree programs offered through the departments of Physical Therapy, Nursing, and Health Sciences and Administration.  

To best prepare you for a rewarding and challenging career in the health professions, the degree programs offered in the School blend liberal arts education with dynamic professional experiences. This gives you a balanced, contemporary perspective of the significant issues in health care, health care delivery models, factors influencing health, and health care professional/client relationship. Our small classes provide ample opportunity for you to interact with instructors and fellow students. As you progress in your studies, you will experience first-hand the exciting challenges and rewarding opportunities found in health care professions.  

In order for the School to continue to meet its commitment of providing high quality education, faculty and staff have taken proactive measures to align our goals and objectives to the mission and strategic plan of the University.
