In the Division of Health Professions, students benefit from a liberal arts foundation while developing a literacy in the scientific method and quantitative reasoning necessary for success in their chosen fields.

The College is also home to the college studies program, which offers foundational courses providing a common educational experience for all students. The college studies program encourages students to view their own fields through larger social, economic, political and cultural lenses by including courses in all areas of study.
