From an on-campus speech-language-hearing clinic that serves as a teaching facility as well as a service center for community members with communication disorders to the Louisiana Child Welfare Training Academy, the Department of Health and Human Sciences provides many academic programs to support our students’ academic and professional success.
Numerous courses taught in the Department of Health and Human Sciences are regularly offered as 100 percent online. All courses are Internet supported and several are offered as blended course options (50 percent online-50 percent face-to-face) giving students much more flexibility.
The Social Work Program, through a Federal Title IV-E Child Welfare Grant, administers several projects aimed at strengthening child welfare services in Louisiana. The grant provides stipends to social work students interested in working in the field of public child welfare. In addition,the grant sponsors initiatives to recruit and retain foster and adoptive parents in the region.
