Mission Statement and Purposes
The Department of Health Sciences is one of ten academic departments at Rogers State University and supports the mission of Rogers State University. The department mission is to prepare students to achieve personal and professional goals and to educate safe and competent beginning practitioners of selected health fields. The department also prepares students majoring in other fields with health courses to support their degrees.
The faculty is committed to excellence in teaching and student service. Learning is best accomplished by providing students with accurate and reliable information, opportunities for individualized learning experiences, and guidance and direction through supportive resources. The teacher-learner relationship is enhanced when accountabilities and expected outcomes are clear. Students are supported and guided by the faculty to become active participants in learning in order to achieve professional and personal goals. The Health Sciences faculty believes that scientific reasoning and critical thinking are reflected as clinical judgment.
The purposes of the RSU Health Sciences Department mission are to:
- Provide a baccalaureate degree and educational opportunities for students, both traditional and nontraditional.
- Provide opportunities for students to demonstrate competence in written and oral communications, scientific reasoning, and critical thinking that emphasizes qualitative as well as quantitative skills.
- Promote and encourage a positive academic climate with students, community, faculty, and staff for instruction and communication.
