Faculty of Health and Social Development

The Schools of Nursing, Exercise Sciences, and Social Work join forces to transform and improve health care and well-being for our local communities and beyond. Our students are active global citizens who work with local and international communities to optimize human health: improving treatments, preventing disease, and meeting future health-care challenges. Innovative faculty produce cutting-edge research and are committed to providing students with relevant hands-on learning. A passion for health and healing and a desire to create positive change transforms students into leaders who will define the future of quality health care.
