Department Head's Welcome
Thank you for visiting the Department of Allied Health Sciences Webpage. As you may know, we have had many changes over the past year, but our programs are now on stable footing. The largest change was the dissolution of the School of Allied Health, with Physical Therapy moving to the NEAG School of Education, while the remainder of the faculty and programs moved to the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) as a Department. Three faculty members left the program, but a new department head was hired, and two additional faculty searches are in progress. Over the past six months our undergraduate programs have been streamlined and our commitment to professional programs has been renewed (Dietetics, Diagnostic Genetic Sciences and Medical Technology). Our new major in Allied Health Sciences has been approved and is in the final phases of accreditation, and two new Concentrations under that major have been formed (Health Promotion and Diagnostic Sciences), as well as a “Standard Plan.” We are looking forward to continued strength and administrative stability under this new structure, and we have already begun integrating into the college and establishing ties with departments such as Pathobiology and Veterinary Sciences and the Department of Nutritional Science. I welcome you to peruse our new webpages and explore the exciting opportunities that exist within the Department of Allied Health Sciences.
