About UNT’s College of Health and Public Service
The College of Health and Public Service (HPS) at the University of North Texas prepares graduates to address complex social issues such as aging, disability, disaster management and recovery, criminal justice, cultural disparities, and public safety, and find solutions to challenges in public administration, public health, and urban design. We have seven academic departments with undergraduate and graduate programs, the Center for Public Management, the UNT Speech and Hearing Center and a number of professional development and clinical training programs.
HPS students train to lead nonprofits, become educators, researchers and professionals who strengthen our communities by serving as audiologists, behavior analysts, city managers, emergency managers, health care administrators, public safety administrators, public health specialists, rehabilitation counselors, speech language pathologists, social workers, urban planners, and more.
Welcome from Dean Nicole Dash!
Welcome to the UNT College of Health & Public Service. I’m Dr. Nicole Dash and I want you to know that I love being Dean of such a vibrant college that prepares our students for careers that make a difference in the lives of so many. I’ve served the College for more than a decade now, and in those years, I’ve gotten to know the College, its people, and many of its students very well, and I’m so proud of all of the things we’ve achieved.
We’ve grown to seven academic departments with 11 undergraduate and 14 graduate programs, and I’ve witnessed firsthand the hard work it’s taken to become what we are today. Not only that, but I’ve watched so many of our students grow into the successful leaders of our health and public service sectors around the country and world.
Yes, we’re a College, but we’re also a family, and as a student, you can expect to get to know your faculty and staff, and get the personalized experience you expect. I also can’t wait to continue to expand on the College’s strong reputation, build our research, and create the new opportunities you deserve from a top-tier University.
