Mind, body, spirit and community
Students in the Morrison Family College of Health focus on the health and well-being of the whole person – physical, social, mental, and spiritual. The College of Health encompasses programs in health and exercise science, nursing, counseling psychology and social work.
In each College of Health program, students learn to see and address the interconnectivity of the many factors that influence a person’s health, especially from a social, economic, environmental, and political lens. They develop the critical skills and knowledge required to serve in their own fields, as well as opportunities to learn how to promote health equity on interprofessional teams, regardless of what they career path they choose to pursue.
