Welcome to the College of Health and Human Development

chairs at 2021-22 special ceremony in 2022

Faculty enjoy commencement almost as much as graduates.

We are honing skills and finding solutions that improve the quality of life for individuals, communities and families. Health and Human Development is focused on preventing problems involving health and well-being, and where such issues exist, we address them through rehabilitation and rejuvenation.

Our alumni are in professions that enrich health and well-being, fitness and activity, and living environments. Together, HHD students, faculty, staff, and community improve the quality of life through research, education, and action.

We Enhance, Enrich, and Empower the Human Experience. We are the College of Life.

There are more than 1,000 remarkable women faculty at CSUN — far more than one could ever encounter during one’s studies or career at the university. In honor of Women’s History Month, here are just a few who stand out in their fields. Their specialties are engineering, gender equity, travel and tourism, and public health. We talked to them about their research, how things have changed in their classrooms (or not) in terms of female representation and their thoughts on empowering women. Three of the four women featured here are from HHD. Read More About these Faculty Experts
