Transforming Communities through Compassionate Healthcare Leaders
From field practicum experiences to service endeavors, our students grow into the experienced healthcare leaders our communities need through real work in the industry—combined with rigorous classroom instruction. Whether an aspiring physical therapist or future child life specialist, we equip our graduates with relevant clinical skills and a deeply integrated Christian perspective, taught by industry-experienced and passionate faculty. This results in a higher level of empathetic care across disciplines—the kind that changes lives.
We offer programs for multiple health science professions within our Department of Public Health, Department of Physical Therapy, Department of Kinesiology, and Department of Child Life.
