College of Health Sciences Mission

The College of Health Science’s mission is to educate future leaders for the advancement of health and wellness.

We fulfill this mission by committing to:

1. Create a learning environment in which diversity and inclusivity of intellectual thought, experiences and identifications are valued. We consciously cultivate a culture of equity and accessibility to opportunities and resources in order to grow, contribute, lead and excel within the COHS, GC and global communities.
2. Utilize transformative and experiential teaching and learning pedagogies. We engage with our students through simulations, research, study abroad, service learning, preceptors and internships to foster practical application for their future professions. COHS students become life-long learners through their engagement within and beyond the classroom.
3. Engage and serve populations within and beyond our community. We collectively unite with local and global partners to identify, assess the needs, educate, and serve vulnerable populations. Our students use their education and training to promote community health and wellness and to commit to lifelong service.
4. Lead inter-professional collaboration and education. We support collaborative experiences between faculty, staff, and students by drawing on the exceptional quality of scholarship, mentorship, instruction, and professional credentials in the pursuit of higher education.
