Designated subject credential programs in Adult and Vocational Education are offered in Professional Studies.
Services credentials are offered in Communicative Disorders (Clinical Rehabilitative), Nursing (Health Service/School Health), and Social Work (Pupil Personnel - Child Welfare and Attendance).
The College of Health and Human Services is characterized by perhaps the greatest diversity of programs in the University. The eleven departments, four programs, and twelve research centers are housed within twelve buildings on campus. During the period 1992-94, the primary facilities received $21,000,000 worth of renovation, including the addition of new equipment in laboratories. As a result, students now have access to state-of-the-art classrooms, laboratories, and clinics with equipment matching that of business/industry. As a student, for example, you could visit our Communicative Disorders Speech and Hearing Clinic, Nursing Simulation Lab, or Physical Therapy Labs and Clinic. You could participate in a discussion on the importance of recreation in your life and the lives of others in a Recreation and Leisure Studies course; or a discussion of diet and nutritional needs in Family and Consumer Sciences; or a seminar on AIDS awareness in the Health Science Department; or a seminar on improvement of the quality of life for all people in the Social Work Department. You may choose to swim in our Olympic size pool or be tested in the underwater weight tank, while enrolled in a Kinesiology class. The Department of Criminal Justice may walk you through the forensic investigation of a crime. Public Policy and Administration courses will offer you the opportunity to apply new knowledge, skills, and leadership techniques to the solution of public problems; while Professional Studies could provide you with the competencies requisite for successful employment in secondary schools, community colleges, and adult programs.
As the second largest of the University's seven colleges, Health and Human Services is comprised of over two-thirds laboratory facilities which accommodate its many lab-intensive programs. These programs combine theory with exciting practical application in the campus laboratories, as well as many off-campus facilities through field work and internships.
