"What I love about the College of Health and Human Services is the resources they provide for each student whether it is for school or for personal reasons. The professors are always willing to help students through anything. We have our own little community, and it is reassuring to know that I have a home away from home within the Communication Sciences and Disorders Department."

Scholarship Opportunities

Financial Aid




The College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) has implemented a College Fee, starting in Fall 2025, that will replace all existing course fees. The CHHS Fee of $20 per credit hour will be assessed for all courses (except Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Dual Credit). The CHHS Fee will specifically cover the annual cost of 1) part-time faculty, 2) our Student Wellness Experience (including our Student Wellness Navigators), 3) existing course fees, and 4) other needs that directly benefit student success.

CHHS has created an advisory committee comprised of faculty/staff and students who will 1) review funding requests and 2) provide funding recommendations to the Dean’s Office to ensure that the CHHS Fee funds are being spent to support student success.
