Welcome from the dean

Welcome to the College of Health Solutions at Arizona State University — where our mission is to improve health for everyone.

At ASU's College of Health Solutions, we are dedicated to preparing health professionals who will make a real difference in people's lives. We are nutritionists and dieticians. Sports and exercise scientists. We are speech pathologists and audiologists. We are experts in health policy and health care administrators. And we are biomedical informaticians and diagnosticians. 

Our goal is to translate scientific research into practical solutions that help people become and stay healthy. By bringing together students, faculty, researchers, clinical professionals and community partners to solve pressing health problems, we improve the lives of the families and communities we serve.  

To start making a positive impact on health, join us. At the College of Health Solutions, we provide the academic and practical foundation students need to become successful health professionals and leaders. As dean, one of my top priorities is to provide an excellent student experience. We elevate the classroom experience with degree programs that challenge and excite students. We ensure meaningful hands-on learning through our more than 375 internship opportunities and enhance intellectual and social connections through community projects, research, clubs and more.

Health Solutions student success is driven by our talented and inspiring faculty and staff. Our experienced educators, researchers and advisors cultivate lifelong learners. From the first day of class, they provide creative opportunities for growth: Whether volunteering with the award-winning, student-led Pitchfork Pantry to reduce food insecurity and food waste, documenting environmental health indicators in their hometowns to inform policymakers in the Citizen Science course, or connecting patients with resources they need to stay healthy during an internship at a medical clinic. When they reach graduation, our students have become part of the solution and gain valuable connections to the community, joining more than 20,000 College of Health Solutions alumni improving health around the world. 

Let's create a healthier future together!
 

Michael Yudell
Interim Dean of the College of Health Solutions
