Welcome

A message from the Dean,

The College of Health Professions (COHP) is located in beautiful Huntington, West Virginia, on the campus of the historic and nationally recognized Marshall University. I invite you to explore this web site to learn more about the five health profession disciplines that comprise our college. The college was formed 10 years ago with the merge of the School of Nursing, Communication Disorders, Clinical Lab Sciences, and Dietetics to provide a central location for health professions education on the Marshall Campus. The department of Social Work joined the college in 2006.

The history of the College of Health Professions in educating thousands of students for WV and surrounding states began with the creation of the department of Dietetics over 40 years ago. The CoHP is a regional leader in quality education. Our College advances student learning through a nationally recognized faculty, by promoting diversity, and by constantly assessing and adapting its programs. The College is constantly assessing its activities to better serve our students, our community, and the world at large.

The College’s graduates have assumed leadership roles in many sectors of health care in their communities and nationally. Our classrooms are designed so our faculty can provide the most creative strategies for student learning by advanced educational technologies, thus making the College of Health Professions a regional leader. The student PDA program is just one example of the advancement in student learning through anywhere and anytime wireless technology. The College’s faculty and staff is student focused and maintain the highest standards of service. Our staff makes the College special in many ways, but particularly in their dedication to student success.


Again, welcome to our College. Please feel free to contact the Office of Student Services if you have any questions regarding how the College of Health Professions can help you achieve your education and career goals.

Shortie McKinney, Ph.D., RD, FADA
Dean and Professor
