About Our College
A Brief Overview
In 1992, the University Board of Trustees initiated a restructuring of the entire campus. Nine separate Colleges existed at that time. When the restructuring process was completed in 1995, these nine Colleges had been reconfigured into five units. The College of Health, Education, and Human Development (HEHD) emerged from this restructuring as an entirely new entity. As it stands today, the College is comprised of academic and non-academic units. The academic units include:
- The Department of Public Health Sciences
- The School of Nursing
- Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management
- The Eugene T. Moore School of Education
- The Department of Distance Education
