Welcome

Welcome to the University of Wyoming's College of Health Sciences, the place for students interested in improving and maintaining the physical and social health of others. We offer challenging degree programs in the "helping professions," careers that range from pharmacy to nursing to social work; physical and health education, exercise, and sport sciences; speech, language, and hearing science; and dental hygiene. We also offer minors in health sciences and disability studies and serve as the gateway to schools of medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, and optometry.

While you are with us, you will receive a superior education from our knowledgeable and caring faculty, precise and personal guidance to complete your major from our advising staff, and the special experience of practicums and internships to help you refine and test the skills you will acquire in your lectures and labs. You will also benefit from your work with state-of-the-art laboratory equipment, take part in faculty research projects, and become eligible for research grants of your own at Wyoming's only four-year university.

Exciting, challenging times are in store for you as you pursue degrees leading to rewarding careers for which there are growing demands and excellent job placement rates, so take a few moments to review the information presented on our Web site.
