Welcome to the College of Health and Human Services! As you explore our website, I am confident that you will find an exciting array of professions and disciplines which address the ongoing health, mental health, and human service issues facing our society. The College currently offers programs in Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Health Sciences, Clinical Lab Sciences, Radiation Technology, Gerontology, Marriage and Family Therapy, Kinesiology, Recreation and Leisure Studies, Human Services, and Orthotics and Prosthetics. We anticipate the launching of a Social Work program, a Child Development program, and an Exercise Science Program in the next year. Beyond the array of degree programs that we offer, the College of Health and Human Services has been cutting edge in how it delivers its programs. The Nursing program has offered complete MSN and BSN degree programs online for the last five years. The other degree programs are quickly moving in this direction and currently offer some courses online along with the on-campus courses.

The mission of the College of Health and Human Services is to enhance the health, mental health, and social needs of the human population. This goal is accomplished through an interdisciplinary preparation of professionals who can deliver quality and comprehensive services within a multiethnic, multicultural, and multiclass society. Given our campus location – just south of Los Angeles, we must provide programs that address needs and issues we all face as individuals, families and communities living in a diverse urban environment. Additionally, our online programs require that we address issues relevant to rural and international health care. We teach our students how to learn, grow and thrive academically, professionally and personally. Our graduates are certain about the contributions they can make to society in their chosen profession.

In this website you will find information about our faculty, staff and students, and specific academic programs. I thank you for your interest in exploring professions that help to enrich the lives of others in society. I look forward to the opportunity for CSU Dominguez Hills to play a pivotal role in your educational, professional, and personal advancement.

Wishing you the best in the pursuit of your professional and academic aspirations,

Mitchell T. Maki

 

A Welcome Message From Associate Dean

The new College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) exists to prepare health professionals who can deliver quality interdisciplinary health services within a multiethnic, multicultural society. Envisioned as a nationally and internationally recognized leader in health and human services programs, the college strives to prepare its graduates for careers that will impact education, research and practice in the different areas of health and human services on local, national and international levels. At the same time, we will advocate for improvements in the status of human health through a comprehensive approach that includes legislative policy initiatives, curative, preventive and health promotion measures.

Since we service a diverse community, the college will make every effort to promote respect and appreciation of the breadth of cultural values and to be aware of other prevailing conditions that affect the lives of these diverse human populations. In essence, my colleagues and I will be developing ways for the college to become integral in formulating a health care system that assures the achievement of an optimal state of health and well being for all.
