Welcome to the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences

Imagine being a future teacher entering your first year of college and gaining hands-on classroom experience that leads to an impactful semester of student teaching. Throughout your journey, you’ll have the chance to broaden your perspective with learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom, including international opportunities, preparing you to teach and inspire in a variety of diverse settings.

Picture yourself as a pre-health student diving into the world of research — crafting studies, conducting experiments and uncovering new discoveries in the lab. These experiences will open doors to countless careers in healthcare, including health education, physical therapy, athletic training and beyond.

Foster your passion for leadership and undertake a degree program designed to prepare you for the future of industry and education. If you’re passionate about sports and recreation, our program focuses on sports management and marketing, giving you the skills you need to run a successful recreation or tourism business.
