About the College of Health Professions
In 1998 one school and three departments joined together to unite health professions majors by creating the College of Health Professions. Two departments joined the COHP since 1998 – Social Work in 2006 and the School of Kinesiology in 2010. New programs including physical therapy, health informatics, medical imaging, and public health have contributed to the continued growth of the college. Currently the COHP is one of the fastest growing and largest colleges at Marshall University with programs ranging from associate to doctoral degrees. The college offers a wide spectrum of health professions programs. There is a program for anyone interested in becoming part of the growing health professions field.
