Welcome from the Interim Dean

Welcome and thank you for visiting the website of The College of Health Sciences at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Our College is widely known for its excellent teaching and student learning environment, superb innovative research programs, community engagement, and service to the various health care professions. I invite you to explore these pages and Learn More about our academic programs, students, faculty and staff, which have collectively attracted national recognition for academic excellence.

We combine the cultural benefits of a large urban university with the discovery and creativity of a major academic research university. Our College contains the largest collection of health related degree programs in the region. All of our programs have numerous affiliations with health care institutions and medical centers throughout Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the United States. Our community partners number in the hundreds in addition to our own clinics where faculty and students interact with patients in an educational setting.

Our primary mission is to provide the best educational experience for our students. To accomplish this, our faculty and staff have led the way introducing new technologies into the classroom, integrating research into the undergraduate and graduate curricula, and providing the best fieldwork experiences. Our graduates perform far above the national average on national board certification examinations in the various accredited disciplines and are extremely competitive in the global market.

Health Sciences offer some of the most exciting, challenging, and rewarding careers, and at the College of Health Sciences, we live our motto: "Where science enriches lives." On behalf of the entire faculty and staff in the College of Health Sciences, I invite you to take a close look at what we have to offer and pay us a visit!
