Through
academic study and field practice in community-based public health
and social work, collaborative leadership,
professional ethics and management sciences, the
CHHS program uniquely prepares graduates for successful
careers as 21st century health and human service
professionals working in integrated delivery systems.
Students also develop
an understanding of and sensitivity to culturally,
economically, ethnically, geographically and racially
diverse communities through a multicultural curriculum
and applied field practice experiences.
Students interested in careers in social work, health education, public safety, counseling, and allied health care professions will be exposed to cutting edge academic research and expert community mentors in this integrated degree program. Ninety-three percent of CHHS alumni who have applied to graduate degree programs (in a variety of disciplines) have been admitted.
As our social, political, and economic
environments continue to experience increasing
uncertainty and rapid change, public,
nonprofit and private agencies are in the process
of transforming themselves into more flexible,
innovative, and outcomes-based organizations to
more effectively and collaboratively pursue shared
service goals. To be successful in this rapidly
evolving environment, CHHS graduates are equipped
with a "toolbox" of interprofessional
competencies that include the knowledge, skills
and abilities of innovation, leadership,
collaboration, and organizational development in health and human services organization and agencies.
