Learning by doing

CHHS programs emphasize hands-on learning from day one. Through fieldwork, clinical experiences, applied research, and community-based projects, students gain practical skills while working with real people and real systems. This experiential approach prepares you to lead, serve, and make an impact in health and human service fields.
