Health Studies Program Outcomes

Fairleigh Dickinson University believes the goal of a college education is preparation for lifelong learning and a lifetime of thoughtful living. Health Studies student learning is embedded within an interdisciplinary core curriculum that strongly emphasizes global learning and personal/professional development, and supports student development of information literacy competencies. A robust general education curriculum guides students to develop the skills, intellectual orientation, and knowledge to achieve their educational, professional, and personal goals.

The faculty of the School of Nursing and Allied Health has established additional health studies end-of-program student learning outcomes that are congruent with the mission of Fairleigh Dickinson University, and consistent with end-of-program student learning outcomes for healthcare students co-learning in our interdisciplinary classes:
