In Spring 2006, California State University, Stanislaus created the College of Human and Health Sciences (CHHS), composed of the departments of Nursing, Psychology, and Social Work. The College of Human and Health Sciences teaches students the basic and applied scientific principles of their chosen disciplines, preparing them to provide health and/or human services to individuals, families, groups and communities. CHHS endeavors to produce graduates who demonstrate the highest ethical standards in both research and practice and who exhibit sensitivity, altruism, autonomy, integrity, social justice, and competence in their practice with economically and culturally diverse populations.
