Dean's Message

The School of Health and Human Services (SHHS) is an integral part of the University of Riverside. The School of Health and Human Services provides undergraduate and graduate education opportunities. Course work is offered both in a traditional classroom and online formats. The Associate of Arts in Criminal Justice Administration (A.A.), Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) are awarded in the School of Health and Human Services. Other Masters and doctoral degrees are awarded jointly with other Schools at the University of Riverside. The School of Health and Human Services (SHHS) is guided by three core principles:

Education should be accessible and efficient
Programs should be current, relevant, and consistently
revised
All courses should be integrated with real-world
environments

Quality of Programs
Undergraduate and graduate degrees in the School open the doors to opportunities for career advancement, higher earnings, and leadership positions. The curricula of online programs are delivered through a combination of distance education technologies, including the Internet and special software packages, e.g., BlackBoard. Rich with multinational assignments, these programs are designed to enhance global business skills and flexible technological knowledge, which meet current and future challenges.

Diversity
The School believes that diversity is a precondition of academic quality that contributes to the completeness of students' education. This position is based on the tenet that everyone must acquire the requisite knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors to function effectively in international environments.

Diversity efforts are integrated throughout the School's programs, faculty, and staff representation, and campus climate. Multicultural perspectives are reflected in the curricula, in student-support services, and in measurements of learning outcomes.

Faculty Qualifications
The experienced, faculty in the School of Health and Human Services (SHHS) regard teaching as a priority. As accomplished practitioners and researchers, faculty members often serve as consultants to both domestic and international public, private, and nonprofit organizations. Their theoretical and practical experiences enrich their classroom teaching and offer broad, relevant perspectives needed to develop managerial and leadership skills.
