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.

Currently, programs are offered under four main departments: Nutritional Sciences, Rehabilitative Sciences, Analytical and Diagnostic Sciences and Communication Sciences and Disorders.

Programs under each of these departments include:

Graduates of these 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.
