Opportunities for skill development, academic success, and career exploration in health and rehabilitation-related fields are fostered through collaborative learning, cocurricular activities, and faculty mentoring. Academic offerings in the health sciences programs include prerequisite classes for medical laboratory sciences, nursing, and physical therapy programs with efficient course sequencing toward degree completion. Academic offerings in rehabilitation programs prepare students for entry level employment and preparatory course work for graduate studies in occupational therapy and rehabilitation counseling.
Majors in the School of Interdisciplinary Health Professions who are preparing for professional practice may be dismissed from a program on the basis of either academic deficiencies or nonprofessional performance. Specific criteria relating to these areas are made known to each student at the time the professional phase of a program is initiated.
