Center for Population Health
The Sanford Heimarck School of Health Professions has established an interdisciplinary center to study and learn about health and healthcare from a population perspective.
The Sanford Heimarck School of Health Professions contains undergraduate, post baccalaureate, and graduate programs that prepare students for a diverse set of health and wellness positions from leadership in health and wellness settings to direct client or patient care. The school showcases the breadth of Concordia’s programs, joining them together under one school. Students in the school will have both strong disciplinary knowledge in their chosen area of study and the very best a liberal arts education has to offer.
Combining all of Concordia’s health professions into one school allows students to learn about their diverse options and facilitates their ability to determine the health and wellness professions that might be right for them.
Graduates will leave the program appreciating that, given the complexity of today’s world, the critical thinking and problem solving necessary in their work requires interdisciplinary knowledge and understanding. They are confident in their abilities to work as part of a professional team and realize the value and importance of a collaborative approach.
Concordia offers nationally accredited programs in social work, dietetics, nursing, and long-term care administration. Several health professions programs have some of the highest pass rates on licensure exams in Minnesota and North Dakota. Most of the faculty bring both terminal degrees and professional experience, which is often not found in other programs. Opportunities are plentiful in the greater Fargo-Moorhead area for practical and applied learning through internships, practicums, and clinicals. The programs enjoy robust placement rates with many students placed in positions prior to graduation and a long and distinguished history of student placement in various professional and graduate programs.
