College of Education, Health & Human Sciences
Porter's largest administrative college — the parent unit over the College of Education and the College of Health Sciences, plus the departments that feed programs in both.
One college, two front doors
Nobody applies to the College of Education, Health & Human Sciences by name. Students apply to Nursing, or Elementary Education, or Psychology — each of which keeps its own admissions identity, dean, and building under the College of Education or the College of Health Sciences. This college is the administrative layer above both: it holds the budget, the faculty lines, and the departments that don't sit neatly inside just one of them.
Course listings, department pages, and faculty profiles across Porter reference “College of Education, Health & Human Sciences” because that's the formal college of record for their department, even when the degree a student earns is administered through Education or Health Sciences specifically.
Schools
