Students in the John G. Rangos, Sr. School of Health Sciences (RSHS) are exposed to a broad liberal arts education with emphasis on understanding the scientific, theoretical and theologic constructs of the world.

The academic programs focus on the scientific theories, which support the skilled ethical practice of the various professions, coupled with a strong appreciation and understanding of spiritual values.

All aspects of the students' education are coupled with an awareness and sensitivity of the human response to the functional limitations in various social and health care delivery contexts.
