College of Health and Wellness
The College of Health and Wellness (CHW) is dedicated to educating and preparing students in their journey to becoming highly qualified health care professionals. Our mission is guided by the commitment to cultivate a climate of diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and accessibility, as outlined in our vision statement.
CHW offers a wide range of programs designed to help students become exceptional contributors to the health and well-being of their communities. Every program chair, clinical coordinator, and faculty member is deeply committed to supporting students in achieving their professional goals.
We encourage you to explore our programs, which span several disciplines, including integrative health care practices and more mainstream medical careers. Recognizing the importance of integration and cooperation within the healthcare system, we have established partnerships with other colleges at NWHSU and external organizations to enhance student learning and increase opportunities.
At CHW, we believe in the importance of critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and evidence-informed practice as foundational to our programs. We also recognize the value of a liberal arts education in health and wellness. Celebrating human diversity in all its forms, we encourage our students to actively engage with their communities.
From the moment you submit your application, throughout your time in your selected program, and as you transition to becoming an alumna, we are committed to supporting you. We look forward to guiding you through your journey and witnessing your growth as a valued member of the health and wellness community.
