The School of Health Professions was established in July 2025 as part of the Zuckerman College of Public Health. With a focus on health professions and health science design, the school is committed to training students and developing a workforce of health professionals to serve the needs of Arizona’s communities with compassionate and culturally sensitive care. The school offers four graduate-level degree programs – Physician Assistant, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Nurse-Midwifery, and Genetic Counseling – as well as a variety of courses in our Health Science Design center that deliver transdisciplinary education for both graduate and undergraduate students.
