Co-Curricular Learning 

Co-curricular learning refers to activities that complement and advance the learning and development that occurs within the formal didactic and experiential curriculum. These learning experiences are conducted outside the classroom and are an extension of, or integrated with, the formal curriculum, offering a wide range of opportunities to enhance development of key skills and attitudes. Approved activities will promote collaboration with a wide range of people and disciplines and promote growth in multiple domains including problem solving, creative thinking, communication, professionalism, leadership, teamwork, innovation, and self- awareness. Co-curricular learning experiences allow for exposure and collaboration with a wide range of people and disciplines to help refine patient care skills and provide opportunities for professional development. These important skills are necessary to be a well-rounded and competent Scholar Practitioner upon graduation.

Student Advising 

The overarching purpose of undergraduate academic advising in the College of Health Sciences (CHS) is to deliver consistent and student-centric advising that improves retention, timely degree completion, graduation rates, and motivates students to set and achieve high expectations. Underpinning the CHS undergraduate advising plan are the principles of:

1) evidence-based and informed professional advising;

2) consistent and tailored advising that meets students where they are in their program of study and attends to student strengths and barriers; and

3) relational advising focused on student success, provision of support services as needed, equity and inclusivity.

Quality advising is a foundational component of academic success that prepares and inspires CHS students to be future health and health care workforce leaders.

Preprofessional Pharmacy students are advised by the Director of Pharmacy Student Services.
