About the College
The College of Allied Health Sciences plays a more important role today than ever. With baby boomers and the entire population in general-living longer, expectation for excellent health care services is understandably at an all-time high.
We meet that need by graduating professionals who are exceptionally prepared to contribute to their respective fields from the very day they enter the job market ... a market that is strong and only getting stronger.
The College of Allied Health Sciences (CAHS) began as the Center for Health-Related Programs in 1995 and was granted college status in March of 1998. CAHS is part of the University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center with the College of Medicine, the James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy, and the College of Nursing.
The College of Allied Health Sciences is involved in enhancing and improving the quality of life for people everywhere by discovering, teaching and applying knowledge related to health sciences.
The college supports the mission of the University of Cincinnati and is committed to providing students “the highest quality learning environment” in all its programs. While teaching methods and curriculum vary from program to program, high-quality education is relevant to patient needs and the changing patterns of skills that are demanded by modern health care.
Graduates of our academic programs are successful in employment and can excel in health care positions, as well as continue study for advanced degrees. Instructors impress upon students that their first responsibility is always to the patient, client, or service rendered.
An integral part of that responsibility is a lifelong dedication to continuing education, a necessary element in maintaining one’s competence in the field.
