On behalf of the
Department of Wellness and Therapeutic Sciences I would like to welcome
our readers to this website. According to a recent article published
in the 1998 Occupational Outlook Handbook, interest in health and human
service related disciplines has had a tremendous rise within our society
and is expected to continue for the next several years.
The Department of Wellness and Therapeutic Sciences
is dedicated to preparing professionals in such areas as: Communication
Disorders; Exercise Science (Wellness or Athletic Training); Nutrition,
Dietetics and Food Management;
Recreation and Leisure Services (Therapeutic
and Outdoor Recreation); and
Youth & Nonprofit Leadership. Now that we are in the 21st Century,
students will need to have a great understanding of the critical issues
and needs for all health related professions identified in this department.
The faculty in the department strives to be sensitive to social and ethical
issues and are committed to the lives of those they serve. The task
of educating students pursing a degree in the area of health sciences and
human services is a major challenge for faculty. The range of service
required is broad, and the knowledge and range of skills necessary are complex.
Faculty in the department are highly educated in their respective fields
and devoted to teaching aspiring professionals.
Prospective students and viewers of this website
are encouraged to contact the department and/or faculty to receive additional
information related to one of the disciplines offered. We, the faculty/staff
of the Department of Wellness and Therapeutic Sciences, hope that you will
find the information in this website informative.
