Center for Health Sciences

The Center for Health Sciences was established in 2011 to enhance collaboration and encourage interprofessional education among all of Harding University’s health-related programs.  By organizing all such programs into one unit, expertise can be tapped, efficiencies can be realized, and resources can be shared.  The resulting synergy will enhance the educational experience for students while elevating professional opportunities for faculty and staff.
