Department Mission:

The Health Science and Leadership Department provides a fundamental and thorough education in the liberal arts tradition while concurrently providing pre-professional preparation in the field of health and wellness education.  Mastery of the liberal arts core as well as communication skills built sequentially into the major curriculum support the graduate as they enter and adapt to changes in the professions and contributes to their success as a mature and responsible citizen beyond graduation.   The program is designed to prepare students for careers immediately after graduation and/or graduate school, as well as professional schools for medicine, dentistry, podiatry, and veterinary medicine, as well as other programs such as physician assistant, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and radiological sciences.
