Wright State University is creating a new health college, which will launch in 2021.
Wright State’s College of Education and Human Services, College of Nursing and Health, School of Professional Psychology and the Department of Social Work, which is currently in the College of Liberal Arts, will be combining to create a new health college that brings the programs together under one umbrella.
“By bringing together the outstanding faculty, staff, students and partners from many of our education and health-related programs, Wright State’s new health college will offer more educational paths leading to in-demand careers, increase access to experiential learning and research opportunities and deliver enhanced preparation for jobs critical to our region,” interim Provost Douglas W. Leaman said in a statement announcing the new college.
The college — which hasn’t been named yet — will be the first new college at Wright State in over three decades.
The university will formally announce the new health college at a Kick-Off Celebration Wednesday, Feb. 12, from 4 to 6 p.m. — with remarks at 4:30 p.m. — in the Student Union Endeavour Room.
