College of Health and Human Services
Welcome to our dynamic College of
Health and Human Services, the fastest growing College at UNC
Charlotte! The College is comprised of these academic units: the
Department of Kinesiology, the Department of Public Health Sciences,
the Department of Social Work, and the School of Nursing. The College
mission is focused on achieving excellence in teaching, research and
service.
We offer graduate and undergraduate
degrees and certificate programs. Our graduates pursue advanced
degrees, or enter a variety of practice, research and administrative
roles in the health and human services fields. Our high quality,
innovative educational programs include opportunities for distance
education and for study abroad.
Research is ongoing in a number of areas
including health services research, effects of physical activity on
health, promoting healthy individuals and communities, and research
with specific chronic illnesses. The health and human services fields
demand that professionals maintain cutting edge knowledge, and we are
actively engaged in the advancement of knowledge of the basic
mechanisms underlying health and illness, and improving the delivery of
health and human services.
Community leadership is an important aspect of our college mission and faculty members are active in community service.
We are thrilled by our new
138,000 square foot, $34 million College of Health and Human Services
Building. Completed in 2006, the building is the fourth largest on
campus and has more classrooms than any other building on campus. All
classrooms, conference rooms and laboratories are equipped with
state-of-the-art instructional technology. Except for the Department
of Kinesiology, which has ample space in Belk Gymnasium, the College
resides in our beautiful eponymous building.
The College of Health and Human
Services is a key component of the vibrant environment of UNC
Charlotte. We are immensely proud of our students and faculty, as well
as of the professional success of our alumni!
